Annie Freud

She is the eldest child of the artist Lucian Freud,[1] and his first wife Kitty Garman.

[5] Lucian Freud's biographer, Geordie Greig, has written of this event that her father asked her to "remove her clothes and teenage inhibitions".

[4] Freud herself later stated that the sitting had been a "wonderful time" for her and that the resulting work,—Naked Child Laughing—was "the picture of me by Dad that I most admire".

[7] The first works of art she produced were on fabric and clothes, before moving on to board and paper.

[8] She was named by the Poetry Book Society as one of its Next Generation Poets for 2014 for her collection The Mirabelles; at 66 years old, Freud was the eldest contender.
