The Rivals, by C.R. Leslie, R.A. (Verso)

Photograph of a painting depicting a group of people in historical costume in an outdoor setting. A woman appears to resist the advances of a richly dressed man standing to her left. To her right is an older man, standing with the assistance of a cane. His left hand points toward an unidentified object that lies on the ground. An inventory number can be seen on the lower left corner of the painting.
