The image is a bust-length portrait of a young man, showing the upper portion of his torso and head. He is positioned facing slightly to the left while looking towards the viewer. The young man's facial features include defined eyebrows, a straight gaze, and a closed mouth. His hair is short and curly, styled close to the head but with volume at the top. He is wearing a high-collared, buttoned garment with a distinguished, elaborate ruff collar. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is plain with a subtle circular shading around the figure. Beneath the portrait, there is text indicating the identity of the person as "Francis Bacon aged 18," along with credits for the artist and engraver.
