Here the subject is a scene from Shakespeare's pastoral comedy *As You Like It*, rendered as a watercolor rather than a printed book illustration. The record places it in an album and dates it to 1896, a period when Shakespeare's plays were widely illustrated for stage productions, popular editions and private collections. Painted scenes from the comedies, with their forest settings and banished courtiers, were especially common in this era, when artists drew heavily on the plays for romantic and pastoral imagery. The record is brief about the artist and the exact moment depicted, so the painting is best read as a late nineteenth-century response to the play.
