"A half-length portrait of Tattersall in his rostrum, leaning forward on a large open book, his head in profile to the right, his auctioneer's hammer in his (gloved) right hand. He is very bulky and wears a round hat with curved brim. The rostrum is the base of the design; it is pierced by an arched opening to give a view of a jockey on a galloping horse."--British Museum online catalogue
