About this work

This etching depicts a nude woman reclining on her side, with her left leg bent and her right leg extended. Her right arm is bent, with her hand resting on her stomach, while her left arm is bent behind her head. The woman's face is turned towards the viewer, with her eyes cast downward. The woman's body is rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the contours of her muscles and the folds of her skin. The background of the etching is a plain, light-colored surface that serves to highlight the woman's form. The etching is a fine example of Lucian Freud's skill in capturing the human figure in a realistic and expressive way. For more information on the artist's technique, look up etching.
