The image shows a small oval portrait of a man, only revealing his head and upper torso. He is positioned slightly angled to his right, giving a partial side profile. His facial features include a beard and a mustache, and his hair appears to be dark and is mostly covered by a hat. He is wearing a high-collared garment, along with an elaborate white ruff collar typical of the early 17th century fashion. The clothing appears richly detailed, suggesting formal attire. The man is not holding any objects, nor is any jewelry visible. Surrounding the portrait is a simple frame with the text "Anno Dni 1620" and "Aeatis Suae 60" indicating a date and the age of the subject. The background is plain and unadorned, consisting of a beige-colored paper. Below the portrait, there is text indicating the name "Francis Bacon" and credits for the engraving.
