Charles George Lewis after Joseph Murray Ince

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a man's upper body in profile, facing left. The man has a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and curly, shoulder-length hair with balding on top. He wears a high collared garment with intricate detailing on the shoulder, reminiscent of Renaissance attire. The background is plain. Inscriptions at the bottom identify the artwork as "Bacon ex dono Daniells Lock in the Library of Trinity College."
