Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews studio. London 1980.

Francis Bacon stands with a serious expression in his chaotic Reece Mews studio in London, 1980. Dressed formally in a dark suit and tie, his figure presents a stark contrast to the untamed, paint-splattered environment. Light from the right highlights one side of his face, leaving the other in shadow. The room is in a state of creative disarray, with scuffed walls, cluttered art supplies, and a sheet of paper tacked to the wall displaying reproductions of distorted human figures.


Artworks:

  • "Metropolitan Triptych 1974-77" (a version with a figure in the foreground), 1980? (similar Sabatier 4)
  • "Triptych August 1972" (Sabatier 23)
