"The stout Prince of Orange, in profile to the left, shuffles along the pavement, holding the arm of his thin secretary, Nassalin. His eye is almost closed, his right hand, holding a stick, is thrust in his coat pocket. Both are plainly dressed, wearing powdered hair with small tails, and round hats with broad brims. Nassalin is hunchbacked."--British Museum online catalogue
