Michel Leiris, French writer, husband of Louise Leiris (Galerie Louise Leiris). On the wall Francis Bacon, "Portrait of Isabel Rawsthorne", 1966. Paris 1983.
French writer Michel Leiris stands with a serious expression, his hands clasped formally behind his back. Photographed in Paris in 1983, he wears a textured suit and a checkerboard-patterned tie. To his left, on a paneled wall, hangs Francis Bacon’s 1966 painting, “Portrait of Isabel Rawsthorne.” The well-appointed interior is further detailed by an intricately carved mantelpiece holding two glass bell jars and a large, decoratively framed mirror.
