Abstract: "Two officers stand together directed to the right, almost in profile, dressed alike. The taller (right) holds a sheathed sword crooked in the left elbow; his shorter and slightly stouter friend stands very erect, and takes his right arm. They wear cocked hats with small plumes and side-tassels, stock and jabot under high-collared tunics, wide crossed belts, high cavalry boots, and gauntlet gloves. They are Robert Christopher Packe, Captain Royal Horse Guards, killed at Waterloo, and Lieut. George Augustus Fenwick."--British Museum online catalogue
