Lucian Freud (1922-2011) Portrait of Kitty 1948-9, oil on board, 35 x 24cm
Lucian Freud was married to Kitty Garman (1926-2011) between 1948 and 1953, and the couple had two daughters together, Annie (b.1948) and Annabel (b.1952).
Kitty was the daughter of the sculptor Jacob Epstein and Kathleen Garman.
She has been the subject of many portraits, including Freud's famous ''Girl with a White Dog'' as well as drawings and sculptures by her father. More recently she was depicted in a BP Portrait Award winning triptych by the artist Andrew Tift.[2]
Lucian Freud was known for his intense scrutiny of his subjects, revealing the intimate relationship between artist and sitter.
This portrait is in the Garman Ryan Collection at the New Art Gallery Walsall. Kathleen Garman purchased several works by her son in law which feature in the Collection.
