96. Portrait of a military Gentleman, about twenty-five
years of age, seen in a three-quarter view, the head turned
towards the left shoulder; he is clad in a suit of splendid
armour chased with gold, the right hand holds a cane, and the
left is placed on the hip near the handsome hilt of his sword ;
a table covered with a crimson cloth, on which is laid his
helmet, stands behind him, and a red curtain forms the
back-ground. This is an example of perfection in portraiture;
