Large silk picture of cream silk taffeta covered in silk embroidery. The sky and faces and hands of the figures depicted are hand painted in watercolour. The subject is taken from Shakespeare's "King Lear", depicting Lear and Cordelia in chains being brought before Edmund and his captain & soldiers (Act 5, scene III). The oval picture is framed within a large gilt frame, with ornamental corners, and a smooth plane of gilt, with an oval cut-out, to expose the embroidery.
