A little help choosing
Choosing your Dicksee painting
Romeo and Juliet brings its two figures together on a balcony, with warm light beyond the stonework. La Belle Dame sans Merci offers a broader woodland encounter, placing the woman above a mounted knight. Chivalry uses an upright format, with a standing warrior and a seated woman beneath the trees.
For a crowded historical scene, compare the procession in The Two Crowns with the fire, figures and shoreline of The Funeral of a Viking. Hesperia and The Mirror concentrate more closely on a richly dressed woman, while The End of the Quest sets two figures within a quieter interior. Consider the subject, palette and amount of detail you want to explore.
Size and framing
Upright figure paintings need wall height, while the Viking funeral and woodland encounter need more width. Keep the full composition visible and include the frame’s outer dimensions when measuring your space. We can advise on a listed option or quote for a proportional alternative.
Our frame mouldings are handmade to order, with your choice of colour finish. Antique gold can complement the warm fabrics and firelight; silver or a contemporary neutral can suit cooler passages. Actual Farrow & Ball shades are also available. We can help shortlist a moulding and finish for your painting and room.
After suitable sizes and prices have been discussed, our free room mock-up service can help you compare the painting’s scale and proposed framing in your own space.

About Frank Dicksee
British painter, 1853–1928
Frank Dicksee gave narrative painting a rich physical setting. Fabrics, armour, carved stone and furniture help establish the world around his figures, while their gestures carry the story. The paintings in this collection range from a close encounter between two people to a procession or a dramatic gathering beside the sea.
Born in London in 1853, Dicksee studied at the Royal Academy Schools and won its gold medal in 1875. He became a Royal Academician in 1891 and served as President of the Academy from 1924 until his death in 1928. His career belongs to the established exhibition culture of late Victorian and early twentieth-century Britain.
His literary and historical subjects often rely on a clear arrangement of bodies and glances. In the balcony scene, the figures’ embrace is framed by architecture; in La Belle Dame sans Merci, a mounted knight and a woman meet within the landscape. Alongside these stories, his figure paintings give close attention to the decorative qualities of clothing and interiors. Light, colour and setting help make the central encounter readable.
