Francis Bacon 1979 on a late morning at his Paris studio, rue de Birague.

With a pensive expression, Francis Bacon stands in his Paris studio on the rue de Birague one late morning in 1979. He wears a distinctive dark jacket with a light-colored polka-dot pattern over an open-collared shirt. The space is filled with the implements of his work: a large, hinged, blank canvas stands behind him, while the floor is cluttered with paint cans and papers. To his right, a marbled table and tall bookshelf hold books, jars, and other objects, reflecting the atmosphere of a working, creative space.
