The image is a vintage lithograph depicting a stout, muscular man seated in a chair, likely portraying the character Coriolanus from Shakespeare's play. He is partially unclothed, revealing a robust physique, and draped with a vibrant red cloak adorned with a golden pattern. The cloak is secured at his shoulder with a clasp. He wears a golden armband on one upper arm and sandals on his feet. His right hand is raised in a gesture, while his left hand rests on his knee, holding a sword. He has a thick, dark beard and mustache, and his expression is stern and commanding. The background is a plain, light beige color. Below the image, the text 'CORIOLANUS' is prominently displayed, followed by the line 'COR.-MOTHER? O ME MOTHER? YOU HAVE WON A HAPPY VICTORY FOR ROME.' and 'SHAK.' in the bottom right corner. The lithograph is credited to 'J.L. MARKS, PUBLISHER, 305 WALNUT ST. PHILAD.' at the bottom center.
