His powdered hair or wig has a cockatoo-like crest, worn with a very small queue, round which his coat is thickly frosted with powder, cf. BMSat 8190. His neck, as indicated by his coat-collar, is grotesquely thick, his coat has the bulky sleeves associated with Jean de Bry, see BMSat 9425, with pointed coat-tails. Under his left arm is a cocked hat. The word 'Honi . . .' appears on his garter."--British Museum online catalogue.
