The story

When George Dyer, who is still a stranger to Francis Bacon, is caught by Bacon breaking and entering into the artist's apartment studio, he seems to be in a bad position if Bacon decides to call for the police. Instead, Bacon looks him over and, entranced by his physique and good looks, baldly propositions him. Bacon states that if the would-be criminal would be willing to go to bed with him, then he can take anything he wants from the apartment in the morning.
