Title: "Reflections of Youth" 1957

By David Hockney

The portrait depicts a young man in his 20s with light hair and a mustache, standing bare-chested before a mirror. His eyes meet his own reflection with quiet, almost contemplative wonder. Hockney captures his relaxed yet upright posture, the soft light accentuating the contours of his shoulders and chest. The mirror reflects both the man and the room around him, but it's in his gaze that the contrast between outer strength and inner uncertainty emerges. The simple background allows focus to rest solely on this moment of self-reflection.
