This print shows Nicola Chambers, a student from Camberwell College of Art. Lucian Freud made it in 2004 using etching and aquatint. The plate got pulled from acid too soon. That left shallow lines that normally wouldn’t hold ink. Paul Dewis worked the plate in London Print Studio and Marc Balakjian fixed the printing. They ended up with a soft silver tone instead of deeper blacks. Try looking up Lucian Freud next.
