''Three Studies of Lucian Freud'' is a 1969 oil-on-canvas〔 triptych by the Irish-born British painter Francis Bacon, depicting artist Lucian Freud. It was sold in November 2013 for 142.4 million, which at the time was the highest price attained at auction for a work of art when not factoring in inflation. That record was surpassed in May 2015 by Version O of Picasso's ''Les Femmes d'Alger'' series. ==Background== Bacon and Freud were friends but artistic rivals. Introduced in 1945 by artist Graham Sutherland, they swiftly became close friends who met frequently. The two artists painted each other several times, starting in 1951, when Freud first sat for Bacon.〔 Two full-length triptychs of Freud by Bacon resulted. ''Three Studies of Lucian Freud'' is the later of the two; the first one, created in 1966, has not been seen since 1992.〔 They form part of a series of large triptych portraits of Bacon's friends painted in the 1960s; other subjects include Isabel Rawsthorne, Muriel Belcher and his partner George Dyer.〔Hyman, J. "(Bacon, Francis (1909–1992) )" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 14 November 2013) ''(subscription required)''〕 Bacon and Freud's friendship ended after an argument in the mid-1970s.
