Bruce Bernard, best known as the picture editor for London’s Sunday Times Magazine from 1974 to 1981, was close friends with the English painter Lucian Freud. This photograph depicts two of Freud’s primary models arranged for the creation of a large-scale oil painting. It is the third in a triptych series of increasingly more tightly cropped images, documenting Freud’s working process and revealing details about the studio space that do not appear in the finished painting.
