Francis Bacon

About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in old-fashioned clothes. He’s wearing a big hat, a ruffled collar, and a fancy coat with lots of buttons. One hand rests on a table, and the other hangs loose at his side. The picture looks like it was drawn with fine lines—no paint, just ink. The name at the bottom says this is Francis Bacon, but the artist who made *this* version is J. Cochran. The text also mentions it’s copied from an older painting by someone else.
