Artist After, Dutch, 1698 - 1780

The image is a portrait illustration of a man's upper torso and head. The man is facing slightly to the right with a calm expression. He has a beard, mustache, and curly hair under a wide-brimmed hat. He is dressed in a period-style outfit with a ruffled collar, typical of the early 17th century. The background is plain with light specks, and there is text below the portrait that reads "BACON." The paper shows signs of aging with foxing visible around the portrait.
