Lord Bacon

James Posselwhite after Jacobus Houbraken

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a three-quarter view, turned slightly to his right and looking directly at the viewer. He has a full mustache, a beard framing his chin, curly shoulder-length hair peeking out from under a wide-brimmed hat, and wears ornate clothing typical of the early modern period, including a high ruff around his neck. The background is plain, with no visible jewelry or objects in his hands, conveying a formal setting.
