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 is deeply focused on the set design for "The Rake's Progress," commissioned by England’s Glyndebourne Opera Festival. Hunched over his desk in a floral sweater, he meticulously adds detail to a large, graphic-style illustration featuring a stylized face and an intricate spiderweb. A strong beam of sunlight from the left casts the shadow of a window frame across his back, illuminating the artist's cluttered workspace.
