Description: Pretty Tulips (1970) is an iconic color lithograph by British contemporary master David Hockney. The work depicts a bouquet of red tulips in a vivid blue vase, delicately placed on a reflective surface that subtly doubles the composition. The interplay between the precise lines of the vase, the gestural treatment of the flowers, and the stylized reflection creates a visual balance that is both simple and sophisticated.

Hockney combines inspiration from classical still life with his unique graphic language, characterized by expressive lines and a luminous palette. Pretty Tulips exemplifies his modern reinterpretation of domestic forms and his enduring fascination with floral compositions.
