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

In Paris, 1975, artist David Hockney works on his set designs for the Glyndebourne Opera Festival’s production of "The Rake's Progress." Holding a telephone receiver to his ear, he directs his focused gaze toward a large, cross-hatched drawing on the board before him. Hockney wears a light blue patterned sweater with a distinctive striped collar, the coiled black cord of the telephone stretching across his workspace in a moment of candid concentration.
