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

In his Paris studio in 1975, David Hockney works on the set design for the Glyndebourne Opera Festival production of "The Rake's Progress." Wearing his distinctive glasses and a patterned sweater, he speaks on a classic black telephone while studying a large, intricate drawing featuring serpentine patterns on the board before him. His cluttered desk is covered with a radio, papers, and art supplies, illuminated by bright sunlight and two adjustable wall-mounted lamps.
