Sir Francis Bacon is a 1746 ink by Anthony Walker, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious face. He’s wearing a large hat, a ruffled collar, and a dark coat with a patterned design. The image is framed by a decorative border with text around the edges. The print was made using a technique that creates fine lines to build up shadows and details. This method was common in the 1600s and 1700s. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
