Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews kitchen with his cleaning lady Jean Ward. London 1979.

In his cluttered kitchen at Reece Mews, London, artist Francis Bacon pours tea, accompanied by his cleaning lady, Jean Ward, in 1979. Dressed in a turtleneck, he is surrounded by the details of daily life: a package of Buitoni spaghetti and a box of Marvel rest on the counter, while a mandoline slicer leans against the wall near the old-fashioned sink. A camera flash unit is tacked to the wooden plank wall above a table.
