CAPTURED BY FREUD

The greatest portrait painter of his age, Freud painted many of the people around him, including...

Girl in Bed — measuring 45x30cm, this petite work (above) is one of several of Freud’s paintings of his second wife Caroline Blackwood, and the most beautiful. Here he captures his wife (Garech Browne’s cousin), and the wonder and fragility of their early relationship.

HM Queen Elizabeth II — one of Freud’s smallest paintings (just 9x6.5cm), he was accused of painting Elizabeth in an unflattering light, while others pointed out that she looks remarkably like the painter himself in this picture.
