The image is an engraved portrait of a man. He is facing forward with his head slightly turned to his left. The man has a prominent nose, short full beard, and a mustache. His hair is medium length and wavy, underneath a broad-brimmed hat. He wears a high ruff around his neck and a dark, textured garment with patterned designs on the shoulders and sleeves. The background is plain. There is an inscription below identifying the subject as Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans, with details about the engraving. The paper edges show signs of wear and discoloration.
