What does the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about this 18th century work of art made by John Raphael Smith? (© - by The Metropolitan Museum of Art - www.metmuseum.org)

Four eighteenth-century actors appear here in the duel scene of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." Elizabeth Younge portrays Viola (disguised as the page Cesario), timorously holding a sword while urged to fight by Francis Waldron in character as Fabian. Her opponent Sir Andrew Aguecheek (portrayed by James Dodd), draws his weapon with equal reluctance, encouraged by Sir Toby Belch (portrayed by James Dance, whose stage name was James Love). In December 1771 actor-manager David Garrick revived the play at the Covent Garden Theatre, and these actors were all his protégés.
