Description: A framed late nineteenth-century copy or print of The Vigil, after the celebrated 1884 oil painting by Scottish artist John Pettie (1839–1893).

The composition depicts a young squire kneeling in prayer, holding the cross-shaped hilt of his sword, as he observes the traditional nightlong vigil undertaken before a medieval knighting ceremony. The original painting was exhibited in 1884, measures 115.8 cm x 170.3 cm and forms part of the Tate Britain collection in London. The medieval chapel interior was famously modelled on St Bartholomew's Church in Smithfield.

This smaller period print is presented in a substantial, thick oak frame that complements the medieval subject and the image's rich tones. Suitable for display in a study, library, hallway or traditional interior. Postage available.
