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

Francis Bacon stands in his cluttered Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. Dressed in a dark turtleneck and a light-colored jacket, the artist is positioned beside his painting "Carcass of Meat and Bird of Prey," which rests on an easel. The studio floor is covered with debris, including papers, cardboard, and paint cans. To the far right, a wooden door, heavily smeared and splattered with paint, has been used as a makeshift palette.
