Francis Bacon is a 1786 ink by Remi-Henri-Joseph Delvaux, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a dark coat with buttons down the front. The image is framed inside a decorative oval border with a text label at the bottom that reads "FR. BACON." The fine lines and shading suggest this is an engraving, not a painted portrait. The artist used small parallel lines to create shadows and texture, which gives the face and clothes a three-dimensional look. Next, check out how cross-hatching works in other prints.
Remi-Henri-Joseph Delvaux (1748–1823) was an artist.
