Lord Bacon

About this work

This is a black-and-white engraving of a serious-looking man in a big hat and ruffled collar. His face is lined, and he’s wearing a dark coat with a patterned sleeve. The image is framed inside a circle, and the paper looks old and yellowed. The name "Lord Bacon" is written below, and the print says it was engraved from an original picture. This kind of detailed linework is typical of engraving. Check out engraving to see how artists create these sharp, textured images.
