Francis Bacon is part of triptych with self-portraits at his Reece Mews studio in London 1980.

The artist Francis Bacon is captured in his cluttered Reece Mews studio in London in 1980. He looks directly at the camera, dressed in a grey suit jacket, blue cardigan, and scarf. To his left stands an easel holding a triptych of his self-portraits in a gold frame; its three panels depict dark, distorted faces painted in his signature expressive style. The surrounding chaos of stacked canvas stretchers and paint-splattered walls reveals a space dedicated entirely to his creative process.
