Abstract: "A fashionably dressed man stands directed to the left, erect and debonair, a cane under his left arm. He takes a pinch of snuff, holding, besides the snuff-box, his top-hat. He has whiskers and small pigtail. From his coat-pocket projects a bottle labelled 'Two Spoonsfull to be taken at Bed time'. On the ground is a pill-box on its side, spilling its contents. He wears two thistles in the breast of his coat; a thistle-plant grows near his feet."--British Museum online catalogue
