About the piece
Painted around 1790 by British artist William Hamilton, this work illustrates the climax of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'. The scene features Olivia in an elegant yellow gown, surrounded by characters in rich theatrical attire against an atmospheric architectural backdrop. Hamilton's soft, painterly style and warm palette bring a sense of classic stage drama to the canvas.
