Francis Bacon, Viscount St. Alban is a 1806 ink by Robert Cooper, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a serious-looking man in old-fashioned clothes. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a dark coat with lace cuffs. His right hand rests on a chair or table, and the background is plain. The image is framed by a thin border, and the paper around it looks aged. The print was made from an original painting by someone named Van Somer. The text below says this man was called Francis Bacon, Viscount St. Alban, and died in 1626.
