This drawing shows a statue of a man in a military uniform standing beside a robed figure holding a trident. Behind them, a woman kneels with a child, while a lion rests at the base of the pedestal. The scene looks like a monument with steps and a wreath. The name "Earl Howe" is written below, hinting this honors a historical figure. Look up etching to see how artists like Heath made detailed prints.
