Francis Bacon was an Irish-born British painter, widely considered one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century. He is known for his bold, emotionally charged, and often disturbing figurative paintings that explore themes of existentialism, human vulnerability, and the human condition. Bacon's work is characterized by distorted and contorted forms, creating a sense of psychological intensity and angst.

The piece is framed with a hand painted vintage frame, light passepartout, and a dark purple background.
