"Scene from The Winter's Tale: Autolycus singing 'Come buy of me, come buy, come buy; buy lads, or else your lasses cry; come buy'" is an oil painting by the Victorian artist Augustus Leopold Egg. Created in 1845, the artwork depicts a moment from William Shakespeare's play "The Winter's Tale," showcasing the character Autolycus, a roguish peddler and pickpocket, as he entices the surrounding crowd with his songs and wares. Egg, known for his literary and historical scenes, captures the lively essence of the Elizabethan stage, reflecting the 19th-century fascination with Shakespearean drama.

The painting is a testament to Egg's narrative skill and his ability to translate the theatricality of Shakespeare's work onto canvas. In this scene, Autolycus is shown in the act of selling ballads, an activity that highlights his character's wit and charm, as well as his underlying deceitfulness. The composition is rich with detail, inviting viewers to explore the various reactions of the figures surrounding Autolycus, and providing a glimpse into the social interactions of the period.

Augustus Leopold Egg was a prominent member of the Royal Academy and a close associate of Charles Dickens and William Makepeace Thackeray. His work often contained moral or social commentary, and he was part of the movement that saw art as a means of addressing the issues of the day. "Scene from The Winter's Tale: Autolycus singing 'Come buy of me, come buy, come buy; buy lads, or else your lasses cry; come buy'" is an example of Egg's commitment to combining art with storytelling, and it remains an important piece within the canon of 19th-century British painting that engages with literary themes.
