Francis Bacon 1979 on a late morning at his Paris studio, rue de Birague.

Francis Bacon, in a striking brown and yellow polka-dot dressing gown, is pictured on a late morning in 1979 at his Paris studio on the rue de Birague. With a direct, serious expression, he stands in the lived-in space, flanked by a large blank canvas and a marble-topped table holding books and a potted plant. In the background, a built-in bookshelf is filled with volumes and personal objects, including a vintage radio on the top shelf, next to a section of exposed stone wall.
