The French writer Michel Leiris, husband of gallerist Louise Leiris, is pictured in Paris in 1983. In this formal, black and white portrait, he is seated on a dark sofa, looking toward the camera with a serious expression. Directly behind him hangs Pablo Picasso’s monumental 1956 painting, “L’Atelier de Cannes,” centered between two tall, curtained windows. The high-contrast side lighting illuminates Leiris, creating a portrait imbued with an atmosphere of quiet, intellectual dignity.
