Lucian Freud was a student of Sir Cedric Morris (1889–1982) at the East Anglia School of Art in Dedham and Benton End in 1939–1940. The same year, Morris returned the compliment, and painted a portrait of his student (Tate Gallery). By this time, Freud's potential was already being widely discussed. On 7 March 1940, the Evening Standard reported that he 'promises to be a remarkable painter... intelligent and imaginative, with an instinctive rather than a scientific psychological sense'.
