“In some ways, Freud’s new painting is very close to his Cézanne, in other ways entirely different. For one thing, the Cézanne is tiny, just over 11 inches by 15, while the Freud is huge, with figures approaching life-size -so big, in fact, that it had to leave Freud’s studio by the skylight. And, while the Cézanne is a standard rectangular shape, at an early stage Freud’s grew an extension at the top left that contains the upper part of the maidservant.” – The Telegraph (UK)
