This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a big beard and a wide-brimmed hat. He’s wearing a ruffled collar and looks serious. The picture sits inside a fancy frame with swirls and small faces at the top. The name above says "Sir Francis Bacon." The artist signed it as "Engraved by Chatleath," which is an old way of writing Charles Heath. Next, check out how this was made using engraving.
