Summary

A military officer wearing a cocked hat sits in profile to the left, opposite a blazing fire. He reads a newspaper headed with a star ('The Star', an evening paper) through an eye-glass held in his right hand. Over the chimney-piece is a framed map or plan: 'New Road to Coventry'. From his coat protrudes a bunch of 'Reports'. On a round table behind him (right) are a candle, a bundle of 'Returns', a book of 'Orders', and a box of 'Pills'. On the wall hangs his sword next a print inscribed 'F[or 'E']R', a bust portrait of (?) the subject of the print. 14 December 1793.
