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

In Francis Bacon’s Reece Mews studio, London, 1980, John Edwards stands for a full-length portrait. Dressed in a light-colored suit, his hands casually in his pockets, he poses beside the in-progress painting "Carcass of Meat and Bird of Prey". The floor around him is cluttered with the detritus of art-making—paint cans, rags, and papers—all under the stark light of a single bare bulb.
