Figures with Still Life 1976 - 1977

"Figures with Still Life" is a 1976-1977 lithograph by David Hockney, a prominent British artist. The work depicts two figures, a man and a woman, seated at a table. The man is partially obscured by geometric shapes drawn in orange and blue, hinting at a Cubist influence, while the woman is shown in a more naturalistic style. The table is set with a plate, a bottle of wine, and a glass. This intriguing interplay of styles and the figures' ambiguous poses suggest a moment of quiet contemplation or a subtle tension between the two figures, a signature of Hockney's artistic vision.
