Meaning & Analysis
Suzanna (1996) is an etching by Lucian Freud depicting a woman resting her chin on her fist, her mouth slightly open and eyes trained directly at the viewer. The portrait is close-cropped and tightly composed, giving it an immediacy that draws attention to the sitter’s expression - one that reads as both alert and faintly weary.
In Lucian Freud's Suzanna, the etched lines vary from fine, curved strokes through the hair to darker, denser hatching around the eyes and nose. The result is a face built through tone as much as structure. There’s a quiet tension in the sitter’s pose and expression, which Freud renders without embellishment or sentiment. Like much of his work in print, Suzanna reflects his sustained engagement with the individual in front of him: unidealised, closely observed, and entirely grounded in the moment of sitting.
