"The Dutiful Husband". Oil on canvas, signed in the lower left corner, framed in an ornate gilt frame with an antiqued finish, the canvas size measuring approx. 25" x 30-1/4", and with the framing overall approx. 32" x 37-1/4". Straight from an English comedy of manners, this narrative scene depicts a happy couple in a seasonal domestic setting, costumed from an earlier time. The well painted architecture of the interior establishes the young couple as prosperous upper middle-class people. The title of the painting is written on the verso of the canvas.
