Three Figures in a Room

Three Figures in a Room is a 1964 oil-on-canvas triptych painting by British artist Francis Bacon.

Each panel measures 198 × 147 centimetres (78 × 58 in) and shows a separate view of his lover George Dyer, whom Bacon first met in 1963.

Although painted on three separate canvases, each image occupies the same space, marked by a brown elliptical floor and yellowish walls which continue across the panels.

The creased back of the left figure may be inspired by Edgar Degas's drawing After the Bath, Woman Drying Herself, and also possibly by the Belvedere Torso.

The work was bought by the French state in 1968 and has been part of the collection of the Centre Georges Pompidou since 1976.
