Leonard is probably best known for his portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth, in the National Portrait Gallery, London. The nude in a state of transition is a theme which he repeatedly returns to throughout his career. Although mainly known for his male nudes, he painted and drew this model on a number of occasions.
