A vibrant lithograph by David Hockney, *Afternoon Swimming* captures the luminous, sun-drenched atmosphere of a California swimming pool with his signature bold colors and flattened perspective. The work showcases Hockney's masterful use of color lithography to render the shimmering, rippling surface of water, a subject he famously explored throughout his career. Printed on Arches Cover paper, the full sheet preserves the composition's crisp lines and rich chromatic depth, reflecting Hockney's enduring fascination with light, leisure, and the interplay between artifice and reality.
