Falstaff and the Merry Wives of Windsor



Falstaff and the Merry Wives of Windsor

Summary

Interior scene, decorative with gilt edge framed painting covering the wall and tapestry drapes across a door in the centre mid ground. An open door behind the drapes reveals several figures watching the scene in the foreground; an elderley man in the centre wearing a yellow outfit and red cape and holding his cap with his right hand, looks wide eyed at a woman on the left wearing an outdoor hat and blue and white dress who is gesturing left, to her right. A woman sits on the right wearing a white head scarf and black and white dress. A vase with a sole flower is on the unit beside the woman on the left. A black hat is laid on a unit behind the figure on the right.
