The painting reflects both English grandeur and classical influences as it embodies "viva la virtu" - a celebration of knowledge and culture. Sackville's involvement in various spheres is evident through symbolic elements within the composition.

Additionally, references to cricketing attire suggest his passion for sportsmanship while alluding to his role as Lord Buckhurst in founding one of England's earliest cricket clubs.
