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^[2] 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.^[3]

Lucian Freud was known for his intense scrutiny of his subjects, revealing the intimate relationship between artist and sitter. Portrait of Kitty was painted when the couple were on honeymoon in France. Previously Freud had been the lover of Kitty's aunt, Lorna Wishart, Kathleen's sister. Their six year marriage was turbulent, and became increasingly unstable due to Freud's alleged infidelities. In 1952 Kitty left Freud and went to live with her parents, Freud having started at an affair with Lady Caroline Blackwood. In 1955 Kitty married the economist and musician Wynne Godley, having another daughter, Eve, with him in 1967.

Portrait of Kitty is in the Garman Ryan Collection at the New Art Gallery Walsall. This collection was gifted to Walsall in 1973, as Kathleen Garman had been brought up just outside the town. Kathleen Garman purchased several works by her son in law which feature in the Collection. Kitty took an active interest in the gallery until she passed away in 2011.
