Abstract:
"A stout man seated by a table (left), one hand resting on a book as if sitting for a portrait. He holds a crutch, one gouty foot is bandaged; his hair is tousled, his face ludicrously contorted buy a frown. Four framed prints of men on horseback or leading horses are on the wall, which is also decorated by a pair of clumsy top-boots hanging from a nail. A saddle leans against the wall."--British Museum catalogue
