He holds a key in his right hand, resting it on a small table. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and clothes. The name "NICOLAUS BACONVS" is written below the image, hinting this is a portrait of Sir Nicholas Bacon. The artist’s initials appear in the corner, marking their work. Want to learn more?
