• Resumen

  • A copy of André Level's 1928 book on Picasso in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, contains two pencil sketches here attributed to Francis Bacon and dated c.1933. Identified as being related to his lost portrait of his early patron Michael Sadler and as idea for "Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion", the discovery elucidates the origins of Bacon's interest in the crucifixion theme.
