Sir Francis Bacon

Simon de Passe

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a man seated from the waist up. He has a moustache, beard, defined eyes, arched eyebrows, wavy shoulder-length hair, and wears a tall hat with a twisted band. He is dressed in a garment with a large ruff, a patterned sleeve, and a fur-lined cloak. He is holding a paper or scroll. The background has an oval frame with Latin text. Above him, within the frame, is a coat of arms with two figures, a shield, and a Latin motto.
