Shakespeare's As You Like It supplies the subject here, shown in a watercolor scene from the play, and the catalog dates it to 1896. The record identifies it as a page in an album, which suggests it was made to be bound and viewed alongside others rather than hung on its own. Album illustrations of Shakespeare were popular in the late nineteenth century, when his plays were staged often and widely read in illustrated editions. The pastoral Forest of Arden, where the characters flee the court and fall in love, was a favorite subject for artists of that era.
