An officer with a high plumed hat and in the uniform of the St. James's volunteer sits on thin, tired-looking horse in a parade ground. He holds only one of the horse's reins and a drawn sabre over his right shoulder. Despite his attire, his demeanour is unmilitary, his posture and facial expression languid. A crowd of people watch from a pavilion in the background on the left and from behind a paling on the right. The scene is a reference to the presentation of colours by the Duchess of York to the St. James Volunteers on 5 July; the colonel was Baron Amherst
