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

Francis Bacon, with an intense, wide-eyed expression, is captured on a late morning in his Paris studio on the rue de Birague, 1979. He stands with disheveled hair, wearing a dark, polka-dotted dressing gown over an unbuttoned shirt. The artist is surrounded by the creative clutter of his private space: a large canvas leaning against a wall, a tall bookshelf, a totem-like sculpture, and a rumpled daybed. A jar of paintbrushes on a nearby table hints at a workspace amidst the lived-in intimacy of the room.
