Abstract: "The Prince of Orange in old-fashioned uniform, heavily gold-laced, stands in profile to the left, looking up, both hands resting on a tall cane. He wears a cocked hat, long pigtail, aiguillettes, a star, a long sword, and clumsy jack-boots. He has not the heavy somnolent appearance of Gillray's portraits, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9065, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
