What the image shows
This is a black-and-white engraved portrait of a standing man in an 18th-century military uniform with a white powdered wig, a dark coat with rows of buttons, a sash, and a star-shaped order badge on his chest. He rests one hand on a sword hilt and the other on a rock or stone, set against a dark, stormy landscape with a distant town or water at the left. The print sits on a decorative cream mount with an engraved caption reading 'Charles Marquis Cornwallis' and a publisher's credit line below, with a coat of arms at the top.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
