Francis Bacon with a mockup of a planned book by Edward Quinn (never realized, mockup disappeared). 7 Reece Mews London SW7, 1980.

Francis Bacon stands in his London studio at 7 Reece Mews in 1980, his face half-obscured by dramatic shadow. Illuminated by a strong side light, he leans over a table, his hands resting on a large book—the mockup for a planned but never realized publication of Edward Quinn’s photographs. Wearing a grey jacket and light blue cravat, he looks intently towards the camera. Beside the book, which later disappeared, rests a cluster of wine bottles and a decanter.
