David Hockney's Celia Adjusting Her Eyelash captures a quiet moment of concentration through spare, delicate lines. The sitter leans forward with one hand raised to her face, while the curved chair and dark vertical edge at the left provide a simple setting for her gesture. Areas of open paper keep the composition light, directing attention to the carefully observed relationship between her hands, face and posture.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.
