Sue Tilley, modelo y ex supervisora de prestaciones sociales, se reunió con su icónica pintura 'Sleeping by the Lion Carpet' de Lucian Freud en Sotheby’s, Londres, antes de su subasta programada para el 24 de junio. La obra, que pesa 90 kilos, se estima que alcanzará entre 33 y 45 millones de dólares, convirtiéndose en una de las más valiosas de la colección Lewis. Tilley, quien posó para Freud en la década de 1990, reflexionó sobre su experiencia y el impacto de la pintura en su vida, destacando que nunca recibió grandes sumas de dinero por su trabajo.
