Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews kitchen with his cleaning lady Jean Ward. London 1979.

Artist Francis Bacon stands in his cluttered Reece Mews kitchen in London, 1979. He gestures while speaking to his cleaning lady, Jean Ward, who is seated in a chair to his left. Ward, who is looking at Bacon, has hair coloring foils on her head, partially visible in a narrow mirror. The counter where Bacon stands is crowded with everyday items, including a teapot, a kettle, and food packaging, capturing an intimate and candid domestic scene.
