Francis Bacon is a 1832 ink by J. Cochran, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image depicts a black-and-white portrait of a man in 17th-century attire. He wears a dark, ornate doublet with a high, ruffled collar and a matching hat. His right hand rests on a table, while his left arm hangs at his side. The man's facial expression is serious, and his gaze is directed slightly to the right. The background of the image is a dark, textured wall or curtain, which adds depth to the portrait. This engraving is a fine example of the Romanticism movement, which often featured dramatic and expressive works of art. To learn more about this style, explore the Romanticism movement.
