The image is an engraving showing a man from the chest up. He is facing slightly to his right, with his head turned towards the viewer. The man has a beard and mustache, and his hair is styled with soft waves under a wide-brimmed hat. He wears a large, ruffled collar and an ornate garment with decorative puffs on the shoulders. The background is plain, with no distinct features, and the name "Bacon" is below the portrait. A faint rectangular border surrounds the portrait area.
