Benefits Supervisor Sleeping

Benefits Supervisor Sleeping is a 1995 oil on canvas painting by the British artist Lucian Freud depicting a naked woman lying on a couch.

Freud painted a number of large portraits of her around the period 1994–96, and came to call her "Big Sue".

He said of her body: "It's flesh without muscle and it has developed a different kind of texture through bearing such a weight-bearing thing.

"[2] The painting held the world record for the highest price paid for a painting by a living artist when it was sold by Guy Naggar[3] for US$33.6 million (£17.2 million)[4] at Christie's in New York City in May 2008 to Roman Abramovich.

[5] Freud's painting The Brigadier was sold for £35.8 million ($56.2 million) in 2015, four years after his death, replacing Benefits Supervisor Sleeping as the most expensive Freud painting sold at auction.
