The sitter wears a blue uniform with red facings and the badge of the Order of St. Vladimir. Compared to the freer handling that is usually associated with Ritt, here the artist has delineated the face in a more precise manner. Furthermore, for the uniform, he has used more bodycolour, thereby completely obscuring the ivory ground.
