"Scene from Molière's 'The Would-Be Gentleman'" is a notable painting by the 19th-century British artist William Powell Frith, renowned for his genre paintings that vividly capture scenes from everyday life, historical events, and literary works. This particular artwork draws its inspiration from "The Would-Be Gentleman" (Le Bourgeois gentilhomme), a comedic play by the French playwright Molière, first presented in 1670. The play satirizes the pretensions of the social climber Jourdain, who aspires to rise above his bourgeois upbringing and be recognized as an aristocrat.

Frith's painting, executed in the detailed and narrative-rich style for which he is celebrated, encapsulates a moment from Molière's play, bringing to life the characters, costumes, and social dynamics of the 17th-century French setting with remarkable fidelity and attention to detail. The artist's choice to depict a scene from this particular play reflects not only his interest in the social mores and fashions of past eras but also his keen insight into the timeless nature of human folly and pretension.

William Powell Frith (1819–1909) was a key figure in the Victorian art world, and his works often engaged with the literature and drama of earlier centuries, offering visual interpretations that resonated with the Victorian public's fascination with narrative and historical accuracy. "Scene from Molière's 'The Would-Be Gentleman'" stands as a testament to Frith's skill in translating the wit and satire of Molière's text into a visual medium, providing viewers with a window into the playwright's critique of social ambition and affectation.

While the painting is a significant work within Frith's oeuvre, it also contributes to the broader tradition of 19th-century British artists drawing inspiration from literary sources. By rendering a scene from Molière's comedy with such vibrancy and detail, Frith not only pays homage to the enduring relevance of the play but also showcases his own artistic talents and his contribution to the genre of literary painting.
