Francis Bacon at his Reece Mews kitchen. London 1978.

Artist Francis Bacon stands in his small kitchen at Reece Mews, London, in 1978. Dressed in a light-colored turtleneck and dark trousers, he rests a hand on a vintage white enamel stove, its oven door ajar. The artist’s intense, direct gaze meets the camera. The cluttered, lived-in space is characterized by horizontal wooden plank walls, a kettle and teapot on the stovetop, and simple shelves holding various metal pots. Direct lighting creates strong contrast, accentuating the room's rustic and functional character.
