Francis Lord Bacon is a 1798 ink by John Chapman, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man with a big beard and a wide-brimmed hat. His ruffled collar is stiff and white, and he wears a dark coat with red sleeves. Below the main image, there’s a tiny scene of two people standing near a table. The paper looks old and yellow, with small dots scattered across it. The name "Francis Lord Bacon" is written under the portrait, and the artist’s name, Chapman, is signed in the corner. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like Chapman created detailed prints.
