David Hockney working on "Self portrait with blue guitar". London 1977.

In his London studio in 1977, David Hockney is captured in profile, deeply focused on his painting, *Self-Portrait with Blue Guitar*. Wearing round glasses, he holds a palette and brush, with a second brush held between his teeth as he works on the large, complex canvas. Behind the artist, a tall bookshelf stands against the wall below a railed-off loft, with an open doorway and a staircase adding depth to the room.
