"A standing man in profile with wig and hands folded under his cloak."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
"Identified in an old hand as Lord L------n. [Lansdowne?]. On another impression he has been identified as Sir Nash Grose. He strongly resembles British Museum Satires No. 4917. He appears to be wearing a legal wig and gown which would make the identification with Sir Nash Grose more probable. The wig resembles that worn by Serjeants at law, see British Museum Satires No. 5900; (Grose (1740-1814) did not become a serjeant till 1774. D.N.B.)"--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
