Possible self-portrait by Lucy

Lucy created many drawings and paintings. This pencil sketch is the only one in her papers which resembles her. Though it is unsigned and not identified as a self-portrait, it could be a glimpse into how Lucy wished to depict herself: in the image the woman appears interrupted mid-way through reading; she is remote, a little distracted, keen of eye. Above her swirls an abstract geometrical shape.
