National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait drawing of Sir Francis Bacon. He is depicted from the chest up, facing the viewer directly. Bacon has a bearded face with a mustache, curled hair under a broad-brimmed hat, and wears an elaborate outfit with a wide ruffled collar typical of the period. The portrait is enclosed within an oval frame on a textured background. Below the portrait, the text reads "Sr. FRANCIS BACON LP. CHANCELLOR" with a stylized signature.
