He wears contemporary eighteenth-century dress (black frock coat, knee-length black breeches, black stockings) and a wig. He appears to be walking (his left foot is in front of the right and the heel of the right is lifted as though he is stepping forward) towards the left, presumably in the direction that the Ghost is leading him.
