Samuel Cousins, born in 1801, was a master of the mezzotint technique, a printmaking process that allows for the creation of rich, tonal gradations and intricate details. Cousins' skill in this medium is evident in the portrait, which meticulously renders the textures of Cooper's attire and the subtle expressions of his face, capturing both the dignity and the intellectual vigor of the esteemed surgeon.

The portrait is not merely a representation of Cooper's physical appearance but also serves as a testament to his esteemed status in society. During his lifetime, Cooper was appointed as a surgeon to King George IV and later to Queen Victoria, reflecting his high standing in the medical community and beyond. The engraving by Cousins, therefore, is not just an artistic endeavor but also a historical document that immortalizes a figure of significant importance.
