Summary:
Print shows George III (three-quarter length) in profile to the left, nearsightedly examining an oval miniature of Oliver Cromwell by the light of a candle held in his left hand. The portrait, looking to the right, in armour, probably derives from the plate after Samuel Cooper's miniature in Mechell's ed. of Rapin's 'History', 1733.
