Francis Bacon

James Thomson after Jacobus Houbraken

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a man in a portrait, from the chest upwards. He has a mustache, a short beard, prominent eyebrows, and curly hair peeking out from under a wide-brimmed hat. The man is seated facing forward but slightly turned to his right. He wears a dark robe with intricate sleeves, a white lace collar around his neck, and the background features a textured gradient.
