"Half length portrait of a good-looking man, dressed in the fashion of the day, standing in profile to the right."--British Museum online catalogue
"Renwick Williams, who had been identified on 13 June as the mysterious Monster, see BMSat 7648, &c, was examined at Bow Street on 14 June, &c., and was tried at the Old Bailey on 7 July 1790. He was found guilty but judgement was respited till December. This portrait is evidently based on a sketch made at the trial, see BMSat 7730."--British Museum online catalogue, curator's comments
