The image depicts an upper-body portrait of a man identified as Lord Bacon. He is facing the viewer with a slightly turned posture. The man has a full beard, mustache, and wavy hair that curls at the ends. He wears a high, wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled white collar, and elaborately decorated dark clothing. The background is a dark, textured surface. The name "Lord Bacon" is inscribed below the image, along with a partial publisher's mark on the lower right side.
