Robert Blyth, after John Hamilton Mortimer

National Gallery of Art

The image features a male figure leaning against a large rock, dressed in historical attire with a piece of leg armor on one leg, bare feet, and a draped garment. He has one hand on the rock for support, with a helmet placed next to him. In the background, there are soldiers in armor in a wooded area with trees and foliage.
