Portrait of George Dyer Talking is an oil painting by Francis Bacon executed in 1966. It is a portrait of his lover George Dyer made at the height of Bacon’s creative power. It depicts Dyer sitting on a revolving office stool in a luridly coloured room. His body and face are contorted and his legs are tightly crossed. His head appears to be framed within a window or door. Above him is a naked hanging lightbulb a favourite motif of Bacon’s.
