About the piece
Painted by Charles Robert Leslie in 1825, this work captures a comedic moment from Shakespeare's 'The Merry Wives of Windsor.' Slender, encouraged by Justice Shallow, tentatively courts Anne Page within a meticulously detailed English interior. Leslie was celebrated for his literary genre paintings, and his mastery of character expression and theatrical atmosphere is perfectly preserved in this luminous oil study.
