Francis Bacon with the painting "Carcass of Meat and Bird of Prey" at his Reece Mews studio in London 1980.

Francis Bacon looks directly at the camera in his cluttered Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. Dressed in a dark turtleneck and a light work jacket, he stands beside his large painting, “Carcass of Meat and Bird of Prey,” resting on an easel. The artwork depicts a surreal, biomorphic figure resembling a flayed carcass against a flat, neutral background. Stacked canvas stretchers and another surface heavily smeared with paint characterize the artist’s working environment.
