Sir Francis Bacon

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

This print shows a portrait of a man with curly hair wearing a wide-brimmed hat. He is seen from the chest up, slightly turned towards the left and looking out at us. He has pale skin, a mustache, a neatly trimmed beard, arched eyebrows, and a long nose. He is dressed in an outfit with a high, stiff collar. The portrait is encased within an oval frame adorned with leaves, with the text "Sr. FRANCIS BACON" at the bottom. There is a dot of brown discoloration on the print.
