Buckled shoes and hose complete his outfit, with the hose reaching up to his knees. The detailed illustration also reveals the fine textures of the fabric, the intricate patterns on the lace, and the meticulous stitching on the jacket. The portrait was drawn from various sources, including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits.

Charles, the draftsman, captured the essence of the period, while Leopold, the engraver, brought the intricate details to life through his masterful etching techniques. This illustration provides a fascinating insight into the fashion and historical context of the 18th century in England, offering a captivating glimpse into a bygone era.
