“Self-portrait” – the best of a series of self-portraits in a suit “a la Turk”. Lyotard portrayed himself at the moment of creative inspiration. His eyes are carefully studying the invisible model, and his hand with a pencil is ready to capture its features.
The stress of a person absorbed in work was conveyed with great convincingness: a half-open mouth, burning eyes. It is remarkable, as always, skill in the transfer of different fabrics, hair, skin.
