The Reading of the Will by David Wilkie Art Print

The will is opened, and a dozen relatives arrange their faces. David Wilkie painted The Reading of the Will in 1820.

The widow has already fainted, or is arranging to. The lawyer reads on. Somebody at the back is doing arithmetic. Wilkie gives every person in the room a private reaction and lets you work out who has just been left out.

He was the great Scottish painter of the crowded room, and no picture of his is more crowded or more exactly observed.
