Meaning & Analysis

Portrait Head II offers no distractions: the head emerges against a darkly worked background, heightening the psychological charge of the image. Freud often returned to etching as a medium for its directness, and here it allows for a particularly pared-back, confrontational study. This portrait stands among his later works as a sharp, unsentimental look at presence and ageing.
