Three Studies of Muriel Belcher 1966

"Three Studies of Muriel Belcher" (1966) is a triptych by Francis Bacon depicting the subject's head and shoulders in three different positions, rendered with the artist's signature bold, distorted brushstrokes. Known for his intense, visceral portraits, Bacon's work often explores themes of mortality, isolation, and the human condition, and his "Three Studies of Muriel Belcher" is a prime example of his style. The artwork, featuring stark contrasts and thick impasto, captures the unsettling and raw emotions often present in Bacon's oeuvre.
