Photograph of a full length portrait of the British actor Alfred Sydney Wigan (1814-78) seated at a table, facing right. He looks into a mirror positioned on the table. His mouth is open, as if in shock. He is dressed as Honori Disart in 'The Sole of St. Tropez' and wears what appears to be a dressing gown. He poses in front of a painted backdrop.
