- Lot Description
Will Hicok Low (American, 1853-1932)
As You Like It
Signed and dated "Will H Low 1899" l.l., titled and identified on an unattributed label affixed to the reverse.
Oil on canvas mounted to Masonite, 26 x 20 in. (66.0 x 50.8 cm), framed.
Condition: Scattered retouch.
N.B. Will Low painted a series of works, this one included, as illustrations for Dodd, Mead & Company's 1899 publication of William Shakespeare's As You Like It. Here Low depicts an episode from Act II, scene vii, in which Jaques tells of meeting a fool in the forest who "...drew a dial from his poke,/And, looking on it with lack-lustre eye,/Says very wisely, 'It is ten o'clock:/Thus we may see,' Quoth he, 'how the world wags:/'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine,/And after one hour more 'twill be eleven;/And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe,/And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;/And thereby hangs a tale.'"Condition
Condition: Framed dimensions: 31 x 25 x 3/4 in.
The label on the reverse reads in full "Oil Painting by Will H. Low/illustrating a scene from/Shakespeare's As You Like It/reproduced in Dodd Mead's/edition of the play 1900./Gift of Mary B. Danaher/May 7, 1947." A second unattributed label affixed to the reverse reads "Stratford/No. 51."
