The setting and costumes are rendered with historical accuracy, immersing the viewer in the Renaissance period in which the play is set. As a prominent artist of his time, Marcus Stone was known for his genre paintings and was later appointed as an associate of the Royal Academy in 1877, becoming a full member in 1887.
