I think Freud accomplished exactly what he planned to do with the Queen's portrait. Look at the controversy his painting caused.
You can't figure it out. By this I mean his motive and intentions are undefined. The old saying comes into mind, "a picture is worth a thousand words." Freud's portrait goes beyond that cliche, the possibilities as to what was on his mind are endless, just like our universe.
Or perhaps it's just a Freudian slip?
