Important Maclise work at Christies
THE Wrestling Scene in “As You Like It”, by Cork born artist Daniel Maclise comes up at Christie’s sale of Victorian and British Impressionist Art in London, on December 13. Christie’s say it is one of his finest works and estimate it at £300,000 to €500,000.
Maclise loved the theatre and two of his closest friends, novelist Charles Dickens and journalist and critic John Forster, were amateur actors.
