Field Marshall Count Suwarrow-Romniskoy / etch'd by Js. Gillray, from the original drawing taken from life by Lieutn. Swarts, of the Imperial Regiment of Barco Hussars.
"The caricature has no resemblance to engraved portraits of Suvóroff, but depicts the villain of Praga: the 'Original Drawing' is clearly fictitious."--Cf. George.
Below caption title: "This extraordinary Man is now in the prime of life, - Six Feet, Ten Inches in height; - never "tastes either Wine or Spirits; takes but one Meal a day; " & every Morning plunges into an Ice Bath; - "his Wardrobe consists of a plain Shirt, a White Waistcoat & Breeches, short Boots, & a Russian Cloak; "he wears no covering on his head either by day or night - when tired, he wraps himself up in "a Blanket & sleeps in the open air; - he has fought 29 pitched Battles, & been in 75 Engagements" - See Vienna Gazzette.' 23 May 1799.'"
A full length caricature of Suvorov, his right hand on the hilt of a sabre dripping with blood, left hand on his hip while smoke from a burning town rises in the background. He wears a fur-bordered tunic and fur-topped boots with heavy spurs; a fur-lined cloak hangs from his shoulders. A miniature is suspended from his tunic button.
