Abstract: "A foppishly dressed man stands full face, holding a cane against his left shoulder. The fingers of his right hand are extended to display a large ring on the fourth finger. He wears a high-crowned hat, a voluminous swathing round his neck apparently of spotted gauze; a high collar at the back of his head reaches his hat-brim. His breeches are high in the waist and long in the leg where they are tied; low wrinkled top-boots show striped stockings. His coat is cut away to form tails. Beside him is a small dog with a ruff-like collar."--British Museum catalogue
