Abstract: "A man walks on tiptoe away from the spectator. He is ungainly, the left shoulder lower than the right, with ill-dressed hair in a small tail. He wears a grotesque cocked hat poised on his head, an old-fashioned coat, and striped stockings. The stone wall of a house, showing part of a street-door and one window, forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue
