A vertically oriented lithograph depicts a seated man with a beard and mustache facing us, wearing a dark cap and light jacket. Loose black lines and diagonal hatching define the figure against the pale paper, emphasizing a sketchy texture. He holds a glass in one hand. To the right, handwritten text reads, "John Grove. The Royal Lion:" The central figure's features contrast with the sketchily rendered surroundings.
