Francis Bacon with the painting "Carcass of Meat and Bird of Prey" at his Reece Mews studio in London 1980.

The artist Francis Bacon, wearing a beige suede jacket over a dark turtleneck, stands in his cluttered Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. He looks directly at the camera, positioned beside his large, unfinished painting, "Carcass of Meat and Bird of Prey," which rests on an unprimed canvas on casters. The concrete floor is heavily splattered with paint and littered with debris, including crumpled paper, rags, and scattered paint cans.
