Francis Bacon signing etching "Metropolitan Triptych" at Marlborough Gallery London 1981.

Artist Francis Bacon, dressed in a trench coat and a light-colored scarf, leans intently over a proof sheet of his etching "Metropolitan Triptych." With his brow slightly furrowed in concentration, he holds a pencil, poised to sign the work at London's Marlborough Gallery in 1981. His left hand, with a watch on the wrist, holds the paper in place. The sheet features a vertical series of three rectangular images, laid out on a desk cluttered with art books.
