"Falstaff and Mistress Quickly from 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'" is an oil painting by Francis Philip Stephanoff, an English painter known for his historical and literary scenes. The artwork depicts a humorous moment from William Shakespeare's comedy "The Merry Wives of Windsor," in which Sir John Falstaff, a roguish and corpulent knight, interacts with Mistress Quickly, the garrulous hostess of the Garter Inn. Stephanoff's painting captures the essence of the comedic exchange between the two characters, highlighting the artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative through visual art.

In Shakespeare's play, Falstaff is a central figure whose schemes and boasts provide much of the comic relief. He attempts to seduce two married women, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, for financial gain, but his plans are met with trickery as the women turn the tables on him. Mistress Quickly, serving as a go-between, adds to the play's farcical elements with her misunderstandings and malapropisms. Stephanoff's work brings to life the dynamic between Falstaff and Mistress Quickly, showcasing the artist's skill in interpreting Shakespearean themes.

The painting is a fine example of Stephanoff's work during the early 19th century, a period in which there was a strong interest in the visual representation of literary subjects. As a member of a family of artists, Stephanoff contributed to the period's artistic movements by creating works that often reflected the social and cultural interests of the time. "Falstaff and Mistress Quickly from 'The Merry Wives of Windsor'" not only serves as an illustration of Shakespeare's enduring influence on the arts but also as a testament to Stephanoff's artistic legacy and his contribution to the genre of literary painting.
