During his lifetime Bacon oversaw the reproduction of thirty-six of his paintings into printed editions. The prototype for this lithograph was a diptych in oil, pastel and dry transfer lettering on canvas made in 1982, now in the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. Bacon was devoted to the work of the Old Masters from his earliest days as a painter and in the early 1980s made a series of paintings based upon major pieces by Ingres. This print is in truly exceptional condition with no marks or creases.
