Artist Anne Madden, left, in conversation with painter Francis Bacon at the opening of her exhibition at the Galerie Darthea Speyer in Paris, 1979.

Bacon, seen in profile wearing a leather bomber jacket, listens intently. The candid photograph captures a moment of private discussion within the public atmosphere of the gallery.
