About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with lace at the neck, a dark coat with buttons, and a wide-brimmed hat. The background is plain, keeping all the focus on his face and clothes. The print looks old, with some wear on the edges. It’s labeled at the bottom as *"Sir Francis Bacon"* and was published in 1806. Next, look up how engraving works to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
