A superb Victorian oil painting by J. E. Waller, titled The Cavaliers Rest and signed 1885. This richly detailed scene captures two cavaliers enjoying a drink outside a rustic inn, attended by a barmaid and a stable boy tending to a horse in the background. The composition is full of character and narrative charm, evoking a sense of camaraderie and timeless leisure. Presented in its original gilded frame, which bears a few minor imperfections (clearly shown in the photographs), the painting itself remains in excellent condition. With its warm palette and lively figures, this piece will make a striking focal point in any interior—whether traditional or eclectic.
