Description
About the painting. The second scene of Marriage A-la-Mode: it is twenty past noon, the Viscount has come home with a broken sword and a woman's cap in his pocket, his wife stretches after a night of cards, and the steward walks out with the unpaid bills. It hangs in the National Gallery in London with the other five scenes.
The second scene of Marriage A-la-Mode is set at twenty past noon, which for this household is early morning. The Viscount has come home from a night out and collapsed in a chair, his sword broken, a woman’s cap in his coat pocket where the dog can smell it. His wife stretches after her own night of cards, the chairs overturned and the violin case open. The steward walks out with a fistful of unpaid bills and a single receipt, his eyes to heaven. Over the mantelpiece a Cupid plays the bagpipes among ruins.
It is the funniest painting of the six and the one where the marriage is already finished, a few months in. The original is in the National Gallery in London. Our hand-painted reproduction is made in oil on canvas from the National Gallery original.
