Neat repair to top left corner.
The Prince stands in back view, his head tuned to the left, heels are together. His powdered hair or wig has a cockatoo – like crest, worn with a very small queue, round which his coat is thickly frosted with powder. His neck, as indicated by his coat collar, is grotesquely thick, his bluky sleeves associated with jean de Bry, with pointed coat-tails. Under his left arm is a cocked hat. The word ‘homi…’ appears on his garter.
