The image shows a man in opulent early 17th-century attire, standing and facing slightly right. He gazes towards the viewer with a composed expression. The man has a prominent forehead, mustache, goatee, curly ear-length hair, and is holding a paper with his right hand on a table next to a plumed hat. The background features a grand curtain or drapery. The engraving identifies the person as Francis Bacon with Latin text at the bottom.
