Carte-de-visite depicting a full-length portrait of Ernest Augustus, Crown Prince of Hanover. He is standing in front of a balustrade, facing three-quarters left. He is wearing a military uniform, possibly a uniform of the British Army. His left hand is resting on the hilt of a broad sword by his left side. He is holding a busby with a light coloured plume in his right hand. A curtain is draped over the balustrade on the left of the photograph.
