David Hockney's Arranged Felled Trees carries an estimate of £1.5m-2m ($2.3m-2.9m) ahead of a sale at Sotheby's London later today.

David Hockney is one of Britain's greatest living painters

The work dates to 2008 and is a fine example of the artist's latest series of works, which are inspired by the Yorkshire landscape he was born and raised in.

Sotheby's explains: "Arranged Felled Trees is an extraordinary, joyful example of David Hockney's legendary depictions of the bucolic landscape of East Yorkshire: a triumphant eulogy to an area the artist became enamoured with as a young teenager."

The work will star alongside Francis Bacon's Study for a Pope I, which will lead the sale with a valuation of up to £35m ($55m).
