Francis Bacon at his studio in Paris, rue de Birague, 1979.

The artist Francis Bacon stands mid-conversation in the narrow hallway of his studio on rue de Birague in Paris, 1979. Holding a telephone receiver to his ear, he leans against a wall beside a paper-filled shelving unit. The photograph is taken from an adjoining room, where a wide-angle lens dramatically distorts the large window to the right, curving the lines of the classic-style building visible outside. A folded umbrella rests in the foreground of the grainy composition.
