Inspired by William Hogarth’s famous painting of Richard III, it depicts Richard III before the battle of Bosworth sitting in an armchair in his tent, terrified as he awakes from his dreams, where he recalls his murdered victims and seeing their ghosts. Also startled by the sound of two knights entering his tent, whilst his armour is thrown at his feet.

The painting has the skill to draw you in with its range of rich colours, dark hues and texture depicting this famous play by William Shakespeare. The Victorian oil on board is framed in its original ornate slip and mahogany frame.

Nominal old age marks to the leading edges of the frame, but nothing significant, considering the age of the item. The back of the picture is in good original condition.
