Sir Francis Bacon

Innocenzo Geremia

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an engraving of a man from the chest up. He is facing slightly to his left, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has a short beard and mustache, with thick wavy hair that reaches just below his ears. He is wearing a garment with a richly designed shoulder, lace-trimmed sleeves, and a large ruff collar around his neck. There are no visible jewelry or objects on him. The background is a plain surface. The central focus is on the man's ornate clothing and facial features within the framing of the engraving.
