Francis Bacon signing etching "Metropolitan Triptych" at Marlborough Gallery London 1981.

Artist Francis Bacon looks directly at the camera as he prepares to sign his etching, “Metropolitan Triptych,” at the Marlborough Gallery in London, 1981. Dressed in a trench coat with an upturned collar over a dark sweater and scarf, he sits at a desk with the large artwork spread before him. He holds a pen in his right hand, while his left, adorned with a watch, rests on the desk. The background suggests a functional workroom with stacked books, chairs, and a draped jacket.
