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

In Paris, 1975, David Hockney is absorbed in his work on the set design for Igor Stravinsky’s opera “The Rake’s Progress,” which would premiere at England’s Glyndebourne Opera Festival. Wearing his signature glasses and a patterned knit sweater, he leans intently over an intricate, scale-like drawing, pen in hand. His left fist, with a watch on the wrist, is clenched in concentration. On the desk, a vintage radio sits with its antenna extended, the scene of quiet, creative focus illuminated by sunlight from a nearby window.
