Framed in an ebonised reeded frame with gilt liner.
A portrait of the Derby winner of 1813 with a dedication to its owner Sir Charles Bunbury. Not recorded in Selzer who only lists a version engraved by William Ward, also published by Knight, but dated 1818. I've seen a photograph of the version with Ward named as the engraver and it looks almost identical.
