Description
Description
About the painting. The third scene of Marriage A-la-Mode: the Viscount brings a very young girl to a quack doctor's consulting room and complains that the pills have not worked; a tall woman opens a knife, a skeleton leans out of a cupboard, and the black patch on his neck says what the disease is. It hangs in the National Gallery in London with the other five scenes.
The third scene of Marriage A-la-Mode leaves the great house for the consulting room of a French quack. The Viscount, cheerful as ever, holds up a box of pills with his cane and complains that they have not worked; the black spot on his neck says what the disease is. The girl beside him, dabbing a sore on her mouth, is barely more than a child. A tall woman with a knife looms behind them, the doctor polishes his spectacles, and the cabinets are full of skulls, skeletons and machines that promise cures.
It is the darkest comedy in the series and the point where the consequences of the marriage stop being funny. The original is in the National Gallery in London. Our hand-painted reproduction is made in oil on canvas from the National Gallery original.
