In his Paris studio on the rue de Birague, 1979, the painter Francis Bacon gazes directly at the camera. He wears a dark leather bomber jacket over a plaid shirt. To his left, a large mirror dominates the frame, reflecting the scene behind the lens. Visible within it is the photographer, Edward Quinn, holding the camera to his face. The reflection captures the back of Bacon’s head, creating a complex and immediate portrait of the engagement between artist and photographer.
