Pickersgill Viola and Countess

This is an 1859 illustration of "Twelfth Night" titled "Viola and the Countess", by Frederick Richard Pickersgill, rather in the Pre-Raphaelite manner, though I don't think he was a member of that circle.  He also did some years earlier a painting of "Orsino and Viola" with the same Viola, looking if possible even less like a boy than she does here.

Happy Twelfth Night!
