About this work
A hand-coloured etching shows a stout man in profile wearing a blue coat with brass buttons, a black tricorn hat, a white waistcoat and dark breeches with buckled shoes. The figure stands on a sandy ground beneath an inscription reading 'Agamemnon a Great General, Taken on the Steyne at Brighton', with the credit 'Drawn, Etch'd, & Pub'd by Dighton' and the date 1 January 1804. The caricature of a corpulent figure is rendered in pale washes of colour against a plain background.
