The vertical emphasis of the central tree grounds and concentrates the etching’s composition, in what might otherwise be a jumble of forms, lines, and shapes. Marc Balakjian, the printer with whom Freud worked on this etching, recalls the difficulty that <i>The Painter’s Garden<\/i> presented. In order to establish a coherent image, with depth and light, Balakjian wiped some areas of the print, including the middle distance, while left the tree and the central foreground dark. The various trial proofs (G.2024.SP.5, G.2024.SP.6, G.2024.SP.7, G.2024.SP.8) and their visible differences, reveal Balakjian’s experimental process, as well as the collaborative nature of the working relationship between artist and printer. Freud had to trust Balakjian’s expertise, which granted the printer agency and influence over the finished print. <i>The Painter’s Garden<\/i> is one of two prints Freud made of the garden at his home on Kensington Church Street in London during this period, alongside two paintings. The other print, titled <i>Garden in Winter<\/i> is also in the Courtauld Gallery’s collection (G.2024.SP.4).
