- Abstract
-
"The volunteer, full-face, stands at attention, holding a musket. He wears a grenadier's cap with the letters 'E.I.C' in place of 'G.R', and further decorated with a tea-pot. Round his shoulders is knotted a small flowered shawl. The fingers of his left hand are spread to display a large ring on the fourth finger. He wears gaiters drawn above the knee. He stands on a grassy mound; from the right margin projects the head of an elephant with raised trunk. In the background is a town with domes and spires, inscribed 'Golconda'. Two tiny figures carry a palanquin down a hill."--British Museum online catalogue
