This watercolor illustrates a scene from Shakespeare's *As You Like It*, a comedy about banished courtiers and lovers who find refuge in the Forest of Arden. Dated 1896, it survives as the first page of an album, a format that suited the late Victorian taste for illustrated editions of Shakespeare's plays. The play, written around 1599 or 1600, is known for its witty heroine Rosalind and for Jaques's speech beginning "All the world's a stage." The record does not name the painter or identify the exact moment depicted, so the scene's place in the play is best confirmed by the image itself.
