The Monument of Lord Bacon, Saint Michael's Church is a 1786 ink by James Hopwood I, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a statue inside a church. The statue is of a man in old clothes, sitting with a book and a scroll. The man looks thoughtful, with one hand on his face. The statue sits on a tall pedestal with words carved into it. The print is framed like a window, with stone walls around it. This is an old way to show a monument in art. Look up engraving to see how artists made detailed prints like this.
