Lord Bacon

About this work

This is a black-and-white etched portrait of a serious-looking man in his 50s. He wears a high-collared shirt with ruffles, a dark coat, and a chain around his neck. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and shoulders. The name "Lord Bacon" is written below, and the artist’s signature reads "H. Adlard sc." This suggests it’s a printed image, not a painting. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Adlard created detailed prints.
