Abstract: "Kemble (scarcely caricatured), as Rolla (the noble Peruvian), stands with his left hand pointing upwards, his right arm thrown back, his head in profile to the right. He wears quasi-classical dress, with barbarian adornments, feathered head-dress, heavy gold belt, and ornaments. The costume appears substantially correct, with some exaggeration of the gold chains and ornaments."--British Museum online catalogue
