David Hockney working on the set design for "The Rake's Progress" at England’s Glyndebourne Opera Festival Paris 1975.

In Paris, 1975, David Hockney works on the set design for the Glyndebourne Opera Festival’s production of "The Rake's Progress." Seen in profile, the artist leans intently over a large sheet of paper, wearing a patterned knit sweater and glasses. In one hand he holds a drawing utensil, while the other, adorned with a simple watch, positions a small mirror beside the detailed, scale-like pattern taking shape on the page. A portable radio with its antenna extended sits nearby.
