    - David Hockney

    In this portrait of Margaret Hockney, David Hockney captures his sister with a quiet dignity and simplicity. Margaret is seated on a red-cushioned chair, dressed in a casual blue jacket and dark trousers. The background, typical of Hockney's portrait series, is minimal, featuring a light turquoise wall and warm-toned flooring that directs focus to the sitter. Her relaxed, clasped hands and soft expression suggest a sense of calm and familiarity, evoking a personal and intimate connection between artist and subject.
