Description |
English: No title. Half length portrait of a man directed to the left and looking to the right with a smile, a single eye-glass held to his right eye. His hair is much frizzed out at the sides and tied in a queue. He wears a coat with a high collar, a fringed cravat tied in a bow, a shirt-frill. His coat is buttoned at the waist, forming wrinkles. He wears a glove. Under his left arm is a very small cane. 1 August 1790

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
