I ask myself where are the #uncommitted when the #dictator they helped to elect is talking invading other countries, flattening #Gaza - while his #billionaire boss is organizing talkshows with actual #nazis? #hypocrisy #idiocracy #propaganda
This is a painting by Joseph Ducreux, titled "Self-Portrait, Yawning" or more commonly referred to as one of his humorous self-portraits. Here’s an accessible description for the visually impaired:  The painting depicts a man, the artist himself, wearing a large black hat and dressed in an old-fashioned greenish-brown coat. His facial expression is playful and dramatic. He holds a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, suggesting secrecy or silence, while his eyes widen in an exaggerated, mischievous expression. The background is plain and dark, making his face, gesture, and clothing stand out prominently. The lighting is soft and focused, creating a three-dimensional effect on his features. The work is known for its whimsical and informal approach, which was unusual for the 18th century, highlighting the artist's sense of humor and individuality.
