This is a black and white engraving depicting a man in 18th-century attire. He is standing in profile, facing to the right. He is wearing a tricorn hat, a long coat with a patterned design, and breeches. A bow tie is tied around his neck. He is holding a cane in his right hand. His hair is styled in curls. He is wearing buckled shoes. The ground is indicated by a simple line. The title 'THE FIRE-WORK MACARONI' is written below the image, along with the inscription 'Pubd. by W. Holland, Oct. 26. 1772.' The style of the engraving is typical of caricatures from that period, with exaggerated features and a focus on social commentary.
