    David Hockney Portrait of Mother III

    Portrait of Mother I (1985) is a signed lithograph by David Hockney and the first of two portraits of his mother included in the Moving Focus series. Unlike the second portrait, this work presents a more naturalistic depiction of Laura Hockney, highlighting the warmth of their familial bond. The piece showcases Hockney’s distinctive naïve drawing style, which he adapts to lithography to capture subtle textures and tonal variation. Through this approach, Hockney conveys both the physical likeness and the emotional presence of his mother, merging personal intimacy with his broader interest in exploring portraiture as a vehicle for psychological insight. The work balances simplicity and emotional depth, making it an enduring example of Hockney’s sensitive depiction of close subjects.
