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

This close-up from Francis Bacon's Reece Mews studio in London, 1980, shows a surface covered in colorful daubs and splotches resembling a test palette. The chaotic composition features warm, earthy reds and oranges interspersed with cooler tones of blue, pink, and turquoise. Varying from thick and opaque to smudged, the textures are punctuated by dark blotches, reddish-brown rings, and faint, illegible handwriting in dark ink.
