This print derives from a portrait that Reynolds painted ca. 1753, with the subject's costume changed to indicate noble rank. The Earl stands here in three-quarter length facing left and dressed in fur-trimmed robes. He gestures towards a landscape seen through a window, holds a scroll and leans on a stone ledge next to a velvet curtain (in Reynold's painting the figure wears a coat and waistcoat, holds a hat, and stands in a landscape).
