EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from Colley Cibber's play, "The Fearless Husband". Painted by Francis Wheatley in 1787, the artwork depicts the climactic moment of Act V, Scene 5. Lady Easy is shown tenderly draping her Steinkirk scarf over her adulterous husband's head as he sleeps. The painting is currently housed at the prestigious Victoria And Albert Museum in London. Wheatley skillfully portrays the emotions and complexities of marriage and betrayal through his use of color and composition. The circular shape of Lady Easy's gesture symbolizes both care and forgiveness, while also highlighting the circular nature of human relationships. This powerful image invites viewers to contemplate themes such as trust, fidelity, and forgiveness. The painting belongs to Frederick John Nettleford's collection and was featured in "A Catalogue of the Pictures and Drawings" published in 1938 by C. Reginald Grundy and F. Gordon Roe. It serves as a testament to Wheatley's talent for capturing intimate moments with great depth. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded that love can be both fragile and resilient – capable of enduring even the most challenging circumstances. Wheatley's portrayal reminds us that true strength lies not only in confronting adversity but also in finding compassion within ourselves when faced with betrayal or disappointment.
