About this work

This watercolor shows three men in a dimly lit room. One holds a sword, another leans on a chair, and the third looks down. Their clothes are dark and slightly rumpled, and the room has a few scattered objects on the floor. The scene looks like it’s pulled straight from a play—maybe even a famous one. The artist, Cattermole, made it in the late 1800s. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this sketch in person.
