"Scene From The Merry Wives Of Windsor, Act III Scene III: Mrs Page, Mrs Ford And Falstaff. Falstaff Goes Into The Basket; They Cover Him With Foul Linen" is a notable painting by the British artist Matthew William Peters. Created in the late 18th century, this artwork captures a humorous and pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's comedy "The Merry Wives of Windsor." The play, written around 1597, revolves around the mischievous and corpulent Sir John Falstaff and his attempts to court two married women, Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, who conspire to outwit him.

In Act III, Scene III, Falstaff's schemes lead him into a trap set by the clever wives. The scene depicted by Peters shows Falstaff being hidden in a laundry basket by Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, who cover him with foul linen to conceal him from Mistress Ford's jealous husband. This moment is one of the play's most comedic and farcical episodes, highlighting themes of deception, gender roles, and social status.

Matthew William Peters, also known as "Matthew Peters," was an English painter and Anglican clergyman. He was born in 1742 and became known for his portraits and genre scenes. Peters was a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and his works often reflected the sensibilities and aesthetics of the late Georgian period. His depiction of this scene from "The Merry Wives of Windsor" is notable for its attention to detail, expressive characters, and the lively, dynamic composition that brings Shakespeare's text to life.

The painting is an excellent example of how 18th-century artists engaged with literary themes, translating the written word into visual art. Peters' work not only illustrates a specific moment from the play but also captures the broader cultural fascination with Shakespearean comedy during this period. The painting remains a valuable piece for both art historians and Shakespeare enthusiasts, offering insight into the interpretation and appreciation of Shakespeare's works in visual art.
