This is a print by Lucian Freud from 1988. It shows a resting man in a quiet, focused pose. Only part of him is visible—his bent left arm. Freud worked closely with his printer to adjust this etching. He even changed the final image by covering the arm with pastel in one proof. See how prints change from proof to final piece?
