About the Artwork

Anna Seated (Millennium Edition) is a beautifully intimate and contemplative portrait by Robert O. Lenkiewicz, one of Britain’s most distinctive figurative painters. This signed limited edition lithograph, numbered 168/475, was released as part of a special millennium collection and remains one of the most admired prints from Lenkiewicz’s late period.

The artwork presents Anna seated in a warm, textured interior, surrounded by stone walls, wooden furniture and a patterned rug that enrich the composition with subtle detail. Her vivid blue dress becomes the focal point of the piece, drawing the viewer’s eye and creating a striking contrast against the muted tones of the background. Lenkiewicz’s ability to capture stillness, introspection and emotional depth is fully evident here.

Printed on Sequel Satin 500gsm, the lithograph has a luxurious feel, with crisp lines and rich tonal gradation. The image size of 52cm × 39cm (20.5" × 15.5") gives the artwork a strong presence, while the larger framed size of 64cm × 80cm (approx. 25" × 31.5") provides a commanding display suitable for living rooms, hallways, reading spaces and curated gallery walls.

The frame is a classic gold-toned moulding paired with a cream mount, offering a warm, traditional presentation that suits the subject beautifully. The print itself is in excellent condition, and the original certificate from Fisher Mackenzie is included, ensuring full provenance for collectors.

About the Artist

Robert Lenkiewicz (1941–2002) stands as one of Britain’s most compelling and unconventional figurative painters. Working largely outside the traditional art establishment, he built a reputation for fearless exploration of human psychology, relationships and vulnerability. His studio in Plymouth became a magnet for thinkers, outsiders, bohemians and those living on the margins — all of whom found themselves woven into the fabric of his work.

Lenkiewicz’s paintings are instantly recognisable for their emotional intensity: quiet moments of introspection, complex interpersonal dynamics, and portraits that feel almost disarmingly honest. He approached art as a form of philosophical enquiry, producing large-scale projects on themes such as Love & Romance, Death & the Maiden, Addiction and The Painter with Women. These projects were not simply exhibitions — they were immersive studies of human behaviour, often involving years of research, writing and documentation.

Despite his outsider status, Lenkiewicz cultivated a devoted following. Collectors value his work for its depth, its technical mastery, and its ability to capture the complexities of real people with compassion and clarity. His limited edition prints, particularly those published by Fisher Mackenzie, remain highly sought after for their quality, rarity and strong connection to his broader artistic legacy.

Anna Seated is a quintessential example of Lenkiewicz’s gift: a moment of stillness rendered with warmth, humanity and a painter’s deep understanding of character. It reflects the qualities that have made his work endure — emotional truth, technical excellence, and a profound respect for the individuals he portrayed.
