This is a hand-colored lithograph depicting Joseph Grimaldi as a clown. He is standing with a jovial expression, holding a bottle in one hand and a glass in the other. The clown is dressed in a vibrant and elaborate costume. He wears a tall, conical hat with alternating blue and white segments. Around his neck is a large, ruffled collar. His jacket is a bright blue with orange polka dots and gold trim. He wears orange breeches and striped stockings. His shoes are pointed and curled upwards. The clown's face is painted with exaggerated features, including large eyes, a wide mouth, and rosy cheeks. He has a blue wig with curls. The background is a simple, light color with a few scattered dots. At the bottom of the image, there is text that reads "M: GRIMALDI, as CLOWN." and "London. Published 16 July 1822, by Hodgdon & Co. to Newport Street." The overall style of the image is whimsical and theatrical, capturing the energy and exuberance of a circus performer.
