This silkscreen print is a left profile portrait of the general in deep red military regalia, trimmed in gold. He wears a matching red bicorn hat with a front medallion holding three white plumes. Shown from the chest up, against a forest green background, his face is turned slightly towards the viewer, part of his face in deep shadow. There is a wide white margin around the image, with the chop mark of the print shop, Workshop Inc., in the lower left corner.
