The Brigadier is a 2004 painting by the British artist Lucian Freud (1922–2011). It is a larger than life seven foot high portrait of Andrew Parker Bowles. In 2015 the work sold at auction at Christie's in New York City for $34.89 million. The painter and sitter first met in 1983 when Freud phoned Parker Bowles, then the Commanding officer of the Household Cavalry Regiment, to request some horses to be life models for paintings he planned to create. Years later Freud decided that it was time to paint Parker-Bowles himself.

has abstract	The Brigadier is a 2004 painting by the British artist Lucian Freud (1922–2011). It is a larger than life seven foot high portrait of Andrew Parker Bowles. In 2015 the work sold at auction at Christie's in New York City for $34.89 million. The painter and sitter first met in 1983 when Freud phoned Parker Bowles, then the Commanding officer of the Household Cavalry Regiment, to request some horses to be life models for paintings he planned to create. Years later Freud decided that it was time to paint Parker-Bowles himself. For the painting the artist and sitter visited, viewed, and discussed James Jacques Tissot's portrait of Frederick Burnaby (1870) which is displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in London, and agreed upon it as a point of departure for the new work. Subsequently Parker Bowles returned to the Knightsbridge barracks to reclaim his old military uniform from when he served as Commanding Officer of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, then as Colonel Commanding the Household Cavalry and Silver Stick in Waiting to Queen Elizabeth II, and then as Brigadier director of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps; and redonned it. Therein the retired military officer found he had become a bit more portly since. Upon hearing this Freud said "no matter" because the painting would only be head and shoulders, but the end result was full length. Parker-Bowles has himself offered that he had the opportunity to purchase the work, but did not have "three or four million to spare". Instead it was first acquired by the American investment banker Damon Mezzacappa. The painting was then put up for auction following the wealthy Floridian's death in April 2015. Mezzacappa lent the painting to the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida for their 2013 exhibition of the artist's later work, "Lucian Freud: Paintings and Prints". However, the portrait was only shown for the month of May as the "Masterpiece of the Month" in a show that ran until September 2013. (en)
