The sketch is of a full length image of a gentleman in a blue, double breasted coat, tightly fitted tailcoat and fall front white pantaloons. He also wears a black top hat, top boots and carries a white glove in his left hand.
A note on the back of the sketch indicates that it is part of a pair of sketches which were initially part of a sale that took place in Paris in 1882.
