The image depicts a portrait engraving of a man from the chest up, facing forward with his head slightly turned to the right. The man has a mustache, beard, wavy hair under his hat, and a neutral expression. He wears a high-collared, ruffled shirt under a dark, intricately patterned garment with embellishments on the shoulders. He also wears a large, round-brimmed hat. The portrait is within an oval frame with the label "Fr. Bacon" below it. The background has a textured surface, and below the oval frame, a plinth displays "Fr. Bacon" in capital letters. The image is surrounded by a plain border on the paper.
