This print showcases the esteemed English statesman, Nicholas Bacon, in all his regal glory. The year is 1750, but the subject's significance stretches far beyond this particular era. A staunch Protestant, Bacon faced a tumultuous journey during the reign of Mary I when he fell out of favor due to his religious beliefs. However, under the rule of Elizabeth I, he was bestowed with the prestigious title of Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in 1558. In this portrait engraving, we see a distinguished man dressed impeccably in Tudor attire. His elaborate ruff collar adds an air of sophistication to his ensemble while his hat exudes authority and power. As we gaze into his eyes, we catch a glimpse of wisdom and determination that have undoubtedly played pivotal roles in shaping England's political landscape.
