Francis Bacon at his London studio in 1980. It was removed in 1998 and relocated with all its contents at Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.

Francis Bacon is pictured in his famously chaotic London studio in 1980. Wearing a dark turtleneck under a light jacket, he looks intently at the camera, his hand resting on a primed canvas. The room is a landscape of artistic disarray, with paint-splattered boxes, jars overflowing with brushes, and a floor littered with debris. In 1998, the entire studio was meticulously relocated with all its contents to the Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane, where it was permanently reinstalled.
