Room 4 Arrow Right Large Interior, Paddington 1968-9

This painting is set in Freud's studio in Paddington, in a stucco-fronted house in Gloucester Terrace awaiting renovation. Freud's daughter Isobel ('Ib'), is lying down on the floor for an afternoon nap, her father's jacket hung on the wall behind her, the leaves of the spreading plant beside her turning towards the light from the window.
