About the Item

A finely detailed and engaging mid 19th Century watercolour, confidently attributed to the English watercolourist, John Massey Wright. The painting shows a scene from Shakespeare's play Troilus and Cressida. The scene is executed with wonderful finesse and accomplished use of colour, as well as a confident nod to the art of Theatre, shown in the character's composition and the set like surroundings. The painting has been laid to a second piece of paper on which is inscribed in fine handwritten characters, the title of the painting ans a short excerpt from the play. The painting is unsigned and attractively presented in a simple black frame with gilt slip and card mount. On wove laid to paper. On paper laid to backing card.
