About the piece
Painted in 1796 by Samuel De Wilde, this oil on canvas captures actors John Quick and John Fawcett in a comedic moment from Thomas Morton's play 'The Way to Get Married'. The work is notable for its detailed rendering of late Georgian theatrical costumes and the expressive, narrative interaction between the two figures within a meticulously painted period interior.
