The image shows a full-body representation of a historical figure standing. The person has their right hand on their hip and their left hand holding a black hat near their side. The individual's face is detailed, with a slightly upward-tilted chin, white curly hair styled back, and is wearing a blue military-style coat with gold epaulets and buttons, tan-colored trousers, knee-high boots with dark brown cuffs, a white waistcoat, and cravat. They are standing on a wooden platform. In the background, there is a simplistic sketch of a similar figure with a height notation, against a plain, light-colored backdrop. The artwork is signed by Edward Grant at the bottom right.
