Francis Bacon at his London studio in 1980. It was removed in 1998 and relocated with all its contents at Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.

Artist Francis Bacon stands in the center of his profoundly cluttered London studio, 1980. Dressed in a dark turtleneck and light-toned jacket, he looks directly at the camera, his hand resting on a stack of canvases. The room is in a state of creative chaos, with paint-splattered walls and a floor barely visible beneath discarded paper and art supplies. In 1998, the entire studio and all its contents were removed and relocated to Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.

  • "Metropolitan Triptych 1974-77" (a version with a figure in the foreground), 1980? (similar Sabatier 4)
