About the piece

Painted in 1789 by Johann Heinrich Ramberg, this masterful work captures a comedic and pivotal moment from Act III of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The scene depicts the interactions between Malvolio, Olivia, and Maria with high theatrical flair, featuring rich fabric textures and an atmospheric interior that exemplifies late 18th-century British narrative painting.
