I consider Lucian Freud a good, perhaps one of the best painters of today. Perhaps it's good to think about how intolerant many people are towards realistic art, let's not make the same mistake towards Lucien Freud. The portrait of the queen is not one of his best. I think it's not a good painting by Freud's standards. But he made some impressive works of art.

Thanks Karin, for showing us that beautiful drawing by Freud.
