One of my favourite works from and exhibition called ‘Painter’s Paintings’ at The National Gallery in 2016. This small drawing by Frank Auerbach was a birthday card from Auerbach to Lucian Freud from a photograph of them together at the Cock Tavern. Sometimes a small, unassuming piece of art draws you in and actually becomes your favourite work amongst much larger, fully realised paintings. That’s what happened to me when I saw this drawing. A small, intimate moment that says so much.

Another of my favourite exhibitions from a few years ago. 2018. An exhibition of Degas drawings shown at the National Gallery in London. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon in London to see this small but exquisite exhibition.
