Michel Leiris, French writer, husband of Louise Leiris (Galérie Louise Leiris). Paris 1983

The French writer Michel Leiris, photographed in Paris in 1983, is captured in what appears to be his study. Dressed in a suit and tie, he looks toward the camera with a gentle, knowing expression. He stands beside a large window that illuminates one side of the scene, leaving the tall, book-filled shelves on the right in deep shadow. His hand rests on a desk in the foreground, and through the window, an ornate wrought-iron balcony is visible. A small piece of art depicting a cubist-style portrait is affixed to one of the upper panes.
