Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews studio. London 1980.

At his Reece Mews studio in London in 1980, Francis Bacon stands with hands in his pockets amidst his cluttered workspace. The surrounding walls and doors are covered in splashes and smears of paint, evidence of their use as palettes. The floor is barely visible beneath a chaos of open paint cans, jars of brushes, and discarded rags. A wide-angle lens gives the image a distorted, fish-eye perspective, with dramatic lighting illuminating the artist at the center of his creative environment.
