この絵画について
Florizel and Perdita is an 1837 genre painting by the Anglo-American artist Charles Robert Leslie. It features a scene from William Shakespeare's Jacobean play The Winter's Tale. Drawn from Act IV, Scene 4 of the play, it depicts the princess Perdita in disguise with flowers alongside her secret lover Prince Florizel who is disguised as a shepherd. Seated on the right are his father King Polixenes and a Sicilian nobleman Camillo. On the left stands Dorcas, a real shepherdess.

Such depictions of popular literature were fashionable in the late Regency and early Victorian era. Leslie himself, born on London to American parents, produced a number of works based on Shakespeare and other celebrated authors. The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1837 at the National Gallery in London. Acquired by the art collector John Sheepshanks, he donated it to the newly-established Victoria and Albert Museum in 1857 as part of the Sheepshanks Gift.
美術館の言葉で
The characters are from Shakespeare's play A Winter's Tale. They are the beautiful shepherdess Perdita (really the daughter of King Leontes) with Florizel (really the son of King Polixines) and Dorcas, another shepherdess. On the right, and also in disguise, are King Polixines and Camillo, a Sicilian nobleman.
Leslie was brought up in the United States, but worked in London. He was a friend and biographer of the landscape painter John Constable.
