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 man with a wide face, thick beard, and a large hat. His collar is ruffled, and his sleeves are decorated with lace. Below the portrait is a small scene showing two people in a room. The print was made using a technique where lines create shading and texture. This was done by hand, not painted. Look up engraving to see how artists made prints like this before photography.
