"David Garrick (1717-79) and his Wife by his Temple to Shakespeare at Hampton, c.1762" is a significant work by German neoclassical painter, Johan Zoffany (1733–1810). This painting depicts David Garrick, renowned English actor, theatre manager, and playwright with his wife, Eva Maria Veigel, near his Temple to Shakespeare at Hampton.

In the image, Garrick and his wife are showed in the foreground with the Temple to Shakespeare, an octagonal structure, in the background. Garrick, recognised for the significant impact he had on performance standards, believed Shakespeare to be the epitome of dramatic literature, building the Temple to Shakespeare in his garden to serve as an emblem of his respect and admiration.

Eva Maria Veigel, Vienna-born professional dancer, also known as 'Violetti', is shown holding a fan, a common accessory at the time, suggesting her status and elegance. Dressed in elaborate clothing typical of the Georgian era, their personas underscore the societal conventions and lifestyle of upper-class society in the 18th century England.

The painting captures a personal and serene moment, incorporating Georgian architectural and landscape details. It portrays Garrick's literary enthusiasm, Shakespeare's influence, and 18th-century societal norms. The composition utilises light and shadow to bring the subjects into relief, demonstrating Zoffany’s skill for capturing the nuanced expressions and atmosphere.
