| Description | Great Expectations: The Dickens Christmas Spirit by Matania |
| Details |
A Dickensian Christmas as imagined by the Italian-born artist, Fortunino Matania, who in his later career concentrated on historical genre subjects. This scene from the 1840s shows women in crinoline dresses arriving at a house. As they venture through a doorway, two gentlemen lie in wait, presumably to take advantage of the bunch of mistletoe hanging above.
