The Great Lord Bacon

after Paulus van Somer I

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the upper half of a man's body standing with his left hand resting on a table. The man has a substantial mustache and a closely trimmed beard. His medium-length curly hair extends just past his ears. He is wearing elaborate clothing with intricate embroidery, a ruffled collar, and lace cuffs. There are no visible items of jewelry. The background is plain and dark, with no specific details visible beyond the man's attire. The image is captioned "The Great Lord Bacon" and notes that it was published in London.
