A bust portrait of tandy (1740-1803) looking to the left. He wears the double-breasted, high-collared coat of a french officer, with epaulettes. He looks a sick man, his (white) hair is short and unkempt, his face deeply seamed; his drooping, bulbous nose and look of melancholy wariness give an impression of caricature, but the characterization appears to be excellent, cf.
