"People have been dying around me like flies and I've had nobody else to paint but myself… I loathe my own face”.

Painted in 1975, Francis Bacon’s ‘Self-Portrait’ was created in the tumultuous years following the death of his former lover and greatest muse, George Dyer. Bacon held himself largely responsible, and his subsequent portraits reveal the tortured and pained state of his delicate psyche at the time.

Measuring 14 by 12 inches, the evocative work hails from the very height of the artist’s career, and is the only small self-portrait to be overlaid with fragments of illegible transfer lettering which was typically reserved for his large-scale paintings – the words spill from his mouth but communicate nothing.

The painting is set to turn heads when it goes on view in London this Saturday. #SothebysContemporary #FrancisBacon
