Francis Bacon attending Anne Madden's exhibition opening. (Ann Madden left). Galerie Darthea Speyer, Paris 1979

At the opening of her exhibition at Galerie Darthea Speyer in Paris, artist Anne Madden is captured mid-conversation with painter Francis Bacon in 1979. Madden, on the left, gestures as she speaks, her dark outfit accented by a patterned scarf and distinctive, light-colored, knee-high slouchy boots. Bacon, seen in profile, listens intently while dressed in a dark leather bomber jacket and grey trousers. The candid, black-and-white photograph captures the energy of the social gathering.
