As a matter of fact "aun aprendo" is the title of a drawing made by the famous spanish artist Goya. And this drawing has slightly been modified by JLG to send it to the NSOFC. If you google aun aprendo, you\’ll find it easily. See you folks !

My riff on context is the same either way. Also those are probably ski poles.
The first and last mark might be parenthesis and perhaps a dash before still. Possibly a quote with attribution. "I\’m still learning" is commonly attributed to Michelangelo. Which would be perfect as the arrogant humility of an artist. Also, Michelangelo said this (supposedly) on his 87th birthday. Godard just turned 85 in December so it would be in keeping with where his thoughts might be. So, my best guess is the last line is the original Latin. The first parenthesis looks like a T but the horizontal line is ink from the drawing. So, my answer is

— still learning
(ancora imparo)

It seems to start with a \’q\’ and the verb to learn is apprendre. It could be the present participle.
