Ah. When shall I marry me? This engraving captures one character's longing for love amidst all the chaos unfolding on stage. It reminds us that even amidst laughter there lies deeper emotions waiting to be explored within these comedic situations. Francis Wheatley’s painting transports us directly into Act V Scene IV: Young Marlow finally realizing his true feelings for Miss Hardcastle. Their chemistry leaps off Francis' canvas as they navigate their way through the labyrinth of love and deception.
