Naive Allegorical Oil on Canvas of Scottish Interest, early 19th C.

British School, early 19th century of Scottish interest. An interesting and naive vernacular allegorical scene with storm clouds symbolically gathering overhead, possibly depicting a cuckolded nobleman or royal personage asleep on a chair, a noble woman (perhaps his wife) in conversation with another nobleman who appears to be holding a phial of sleeping draught, both men wearing chivalric orders on their breasts.

Oil on canvas.

Restored and re-lined, within an old, sympathetically aged frame.

64cm x 52cm including frame (55cm x 42cm excluding frame).
