"A man (whole length) stands in profile to the right, his mouth wide open as if singing. In his right hand he holds blank sheets of paper evidently intended for music. His left hand holds the right side of his coat. His hair is in an enormously long queue bound with ribbon. His hat is under his right arm. He wears a large cravat, his shirt sleeves are frilled but his stockings are conspicuously patched."--British Museum online catalogue
