David Hockney in the mirror (as in painting "My parents and myself", 1975.), Paris 1975.

In his cluttered Paris studio in 1975, artist David Hockney is reflected in a small mirror resting on a cabinet. The workspace is filled with creative ephemera: canvases lean against one wall, including two depicting a solitary figure in the rain, while the wall behind the cabinet is covered in sketches and clippings. Next to the mirror, a container overflows with paintbrushes. The mirrored self-portrait recalls Hockney's contemporaneous painting, "My Parents and Myself".
