The general stands proudly, holding a staff in his right hand, his left hand extended in a gesture of authority. The ornate frame, characteristic of the period, showcases the artist's mastery of detail and adds an air of grandeur to the portrait. Krieger's engraving stands as a testament to the visual storytelling potential of the medium.
