Brief Description

He stands in front of a very low set of three stumps. To the left and behind stands a man holding open a very large black sack; three other figures also stand nearby. Small plaque attached to lower edge of frame reads THOMAS HOPE OF AMSTERDAM / PRESENTED TO MELBOURNE CRICKET CLUB BY THE MARYLEBONE CRICKET CLUB. Wooden frame with grey and gold painted inner edge.
