Anna, Lady Bacon, Daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke and Wife of Sir Nicolas Bacon

Henry Richard Cook, after Sylvester Harding

National Gallery of Art

The illustration is a portrait of Anna Lady Bacon shown from the shoulders up, with her body positioned slightly turned to the side, her head facing forward. Her facial features are delicately rendered, with a gentle expression, prominent eyes, and well-defined eyebrows. She has short hair that is covered by a finely detailed lace cap. She is dressed in a richly ornamented gown with a detailed lace ruff encircling her neck, and her attire is intricately decorated with patterns. This portrait is set against a dark, stippled background that contrasts with the lighter tones of her attire and face. The illustration is framed within an oval border on paper with text beneath identifying her as "Anna Lady Bacon."
