Francis Bacon is a 1844 ink by Charles George Lewis, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in profile. He’s wearing a high-collared shirt with a ruff around the neck and a chain visible over his chest. His hair is curly, and he has a beard. The background is plain, keeping focus on his face and shoulders. The name "BACON" is written below, along with "EX. DONO. DANIELIS LOCK" and a note about Trinity College. This suggests the portrait might be of Francis Bacon, a well-known figure. If you like this style, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed images using just lines.
Charles George Lewis (1808–1880) was an artist.
