The position of his right hand is altered."--British Museum online catalogue and "A whole length portrait of the corpulent Prince Frederick William Charles of Wurtemberg, standing 'chapeau-bras' in profile to the right, wearing a ribbon; his right hand on his waistcoat, his left on the hilt of his sword. He has a very heavy double chin, thick lips, staring eye, high narrow head, and an expression of good-natured surprise."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state of similar composition.
