Photograph of General Pennefather seated on a rock facing slightly left. His legs are crossed and he is wearing a long coat and peaked hat. Two figures sit behind him to the left. This photograph has been cropped to remove the original vignetting at the top edge of the print.

During the Crimean War General Pennefather was responsible for the dramatic allied victory at the Battle of Inkerman.
