The image displays an engraved portrait of a man from the waist up. He faces the viewer with a serious expression, holding a closed book in his left hand. The man has a beard, mustache, and mid-length wavy hair. He wears formal attire including a richly patterned doublet, a lace ruff around his neck, and a draped cape over his right shoulder. The man is enclosed in an oval frame with heraldic emblems, decorative scrolls, and text. The setting around the portrait is elaborate, and there is an inscription in French below the image referencing the artwork and the name "Bacon."
