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

French writer Michel Leiris is captured in a contemplative portrait in Paris, 1983. Dressed in a suit and patterned tie, he gazes directly at the viewer while standing beside a large French window. The strong side light illuminates the left side of his face, casting the right in deep shadow. A cubist-style print is affixed to an upper pane of glass, and behind him, bookshelves fade into the dimly lit study.
