"Lord Petersham sits erect on his horse in profile to the right, a large cocked hat in his right hand, the arm, in a long wrinkled sleeve dropped by his side. A family likeness to his father is stressed by the similarity of pose, see British Museum Satires No. 10294. His shoulders are oddly drawn, his waist pinched."--British Museum online catalogue
