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

On a late morning in 1979, Francis Bacon stands with a pensive expression in his cluttered Paris studio on the rue de Birague. He wears a striking dressing gown with gold polka dots over a partially unbuttoned light blue shirt. Behind him, a large, blank two-panel canvas on a stretcher leans against the wall. The dark wood floor is scattered with studio supplies, crumpled rags, and books. Soft, natural light illuminates the candid, intimate scene, which has a noticeable film grain.
