Three nude people, two women and a man lay about in a rough or unfinished room. An ornate padded chair lays tipped over to the left of the scene, painted in detail but neglected by the characters. The painting is framed in gold, a custom-made frame to with an unusual extension at the top, to surround the part of the painting that was appended by the artist.
After Cézanne, Lucian Freud, 1999–2000

After Cezanne is a large irregular shaped obtuse painting begun in 1999 and completed in 2000 by the British artist Lucian Freud. The top left section of this painting has been 'grafted' on to the main section below, and closer inspection reveals a horizontal line where these two sections were joined.[1]

The crease where the two parts of the painting were joined is visible as a faint horizontal line running through the woman just above the tray she is carrying.

The painting is one in a select group of canvases where Freud engages in a dialogue with past masters, this work being a variation on a theme of the work L'Après-midi à Naples (Шаблон:Gloss; circa 1875) by the French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne.[2]

In 2001 the work was purchased by the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, which also owns Cézanne's L'Après-midi à Naples,[3] for $7.4 million.[4][5]
