"An elderly man shambles from right to left in profile, right hand on his stick, left hand in his coat-pocket. He wears a hat with a curved brim, a curled, old-fashioned brown wig, a long coat, and an overcoat, with ill-fitting gaiters reaching to the thigh. Two seals hang from a fob. He is Councillor John Morris or Morriss."--British Museum online catalogue
