At Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio. London 1980.

A painter's palette from Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. This close-up, abstract view reveals a surface covered in dabs, smears, and splotches of paint. Dominant shades of orange and terracotta create a warm field of color, punctuated by vibrant accents of green, purple, and deep blue. The varied and textural application, from thick, cracked dabs of black to faint cursive writing visible beneath, captures the raw and spontaneous process of color mixing.
