Alfred the Great — By Firelight
A king absorbed in study, a hearth left unattended. This atmospheric canvas imagines Alfred the Great reading by firelight while cakes lie neglected beside him, bringing a quieter, more human note to the stories of Wessex. Drawing on the familiar legend of Alfred and the cakes, it places thought and distraction, rather than battle and triumph, at the centre of the scene.
A decorative outer frame gives this imaginative interpretation a defined setting for a study, library or reading corner. Choose Black, Espresso, White or Natural to suit your space: a familiar story retold, made for a home where the past has a place.
