A new limited edition print from Lucian Freud Estate shares an intimate moment of companionship.

Double Portrait, 1988-1990 depicts one of the British painter’s regular sitters, alongside the Freud family dog, Pluto. The sitter's awkward pose and restraining hand, combined with Pluto's poised-to-flee paws, reveal the hours of stillness required by Freud's incredibly slow painting-from-life process. With his signature thick brushwork and careful attention to light and shadow, Freud renders this quiet moment both tender and psychologically charged – a hallmark of his legacy, revered as one of the great modern masters of portrait painting. 

This limited edition print on 310gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper faithfully captures the textural depth and expressive quality of Freud's original oil painting, preserving the intricate interplay of light across skin and fabric.

Double Portrait, 1988-1990 is one of four limited editions celebrating Freud's portraiture from 1953 to 2002.
