Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews kitchen. London 1978.

Artist Francis Bacon is captured in his cluttered kitchen at Reece Mews, London, in 1978. Wearing a grey turtleneck sweater, he holds a small bowl, his left hand resting on a countertop crowded with items including a teapot, a box of "Marvel" powdered milk, and a packet of "Buitoni" spaghetti. He looks off-camera with an expression of engaged listening, revealing a watch and a tattoo on his forearm. The unposed moment is set against wood-paneled walls covered in handwritten notes, offering an intimate glimpse into the artist's famously chaotic but functional environment.
