A vibrant and dynamic lithograph by David Hockney, *Smaller Study of Lightning* captures the artist's fascination with natural phenomena through bold, expressive mark-making and a vivid interplay of colors. Printed on the textured, handmade Moulin du Verger du Puymoyen paper, the work's full margins frame the composition with an elegant simplicity that enhances the raw energy of the subject. Characteristic of Hockney's innovative approach to printmaking, the piece reflects his enduring exploration of light, movement, and the visual language of the natural world.
