About the piece

Painted around 1820 by Thomas Stothard, this work depicts a spirited social scene set against a backdrop of classical architecture and a lush, verdant garden. The sketch-like handling of the figures and the warm, golden light evoke the romantic atmosphere of a Regency-era gathering, presented with the authentic texture of its original oil-on-panel medium.
