Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews studio. London 1980.

The painter Francis Bacon at his cluttered Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. Formally dressed in a dark suit jacket and tie, he stands with a serious expression, a composed figure amidst creative chaos. The walls behind him are splattered with dark paint, near a tacked-up grid of photographic reproductions. Jars of paintbrushes and tubes of paint clutter a workstation, while a blank canvas rests on an easel. The dramatic lighting casts a strong shadow across one side of his face.

Artworks:

"Metropolitan Triptych 1974-77" (a version with a figure in the foreground), 1980? (similar Sabatier 4) ñ "Triptych August 1972" (Sabatier 23)
