About the piece
Painted by James Stephanoff in 1832, this oil on panel work depicts a famous scene from Shakespeare's 'The Merry Wives of Windsor.' The central figure, Falstaff, is shown in his comical disguise with antlers, surrounded by Mistress Ford and Mistress Page in a moonlit forest setting. The painting beautifully captures the whimsical and theatrical spirit of 19th-century British literary illustration.
