This sketch shows a man in a long coat, tall hat, and knee-high boots. He holds a walking stick in one hand and a rolled-up paper or cloth in the other. His jacket has a high collar, and you can see buttons down the front. The drawing is loose and quick, with light shading to show folds in his clothes. The artist signed it "Mr. Apperley" and added the nickname "Nimrod" in the corner. That might hint at a story or identity, but it’s not clear from the sketch alone.
