Sir Francis Bacon

Innocenzo Geremia

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of Sir Francis Bacon, depicting his upper body. He faces forward with a slight tilt of the head to his right. His features include a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, curly hair under his hat, and a serious expression. He wears a high black hat with a wide brim and a large ruff around his neck. The attire shows embroidery and textures, notably on the sleeves and sides. The background is a textured oval against a plain backdrop, with minor signs of aging on the paper.
