The portrait depicts a man from the waist up, facing the left. He wears a tall dark hat with a fabric bow above it. He has a neatly trimmed beard and mustache, small slightly downturned eyes, and a serious expression. His hair is wavy and visible under the hat. He wears a richly decorated garment with ornate patterns on the sleeves and a pleated ruff around his neck. The background is a simple oval gray area with a plain backdrop and aged spots. Below the portrait, the text "LORD BACON" is inscribed in capital letters.
