Artist, British, 1784/1785 - 1848

The image displays an engraved portrait of a man showing his upper body. He has a mustache and a beard, and wears a wide-brimmed, tall hat, a large ruffled collar, and a richly decorated garment. The portrait is framed by an ornate border with decorative elements and scrolls, including two cherubic faces at the top and a shield-like emblem at the bottom. The background is a plain sheet of paper with a slightly weathered appearance, featuring some subtle discoloration, and a small text below the ornate frame provides engraving information.
