Meaning & Analysis

Unlike most of Lucian Freud's Naked Portraits, Four Figures represents the naked portrait of Leigh Bowery amidst a tender image of his daughter and granddaughter. Though Ib and Cerith look adoringly at the baby in Ib's arms, Bowery gazes directly at the viewer, giving the work a subversive appeal.

Through the unusual layout of this work, Freud produces almost a collage of different people who were important and influential in his life. Freud painted and produced more etchings of each of these sitters, and Four Figures is testament to their unique and significant relationship with Freud.
