That feeling when the energy bill arrives...
Having googled I also have found a painting with the same title -"Patience on a monument smiling at grief " painted by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope (1829-1908)
But I don't see any smiling here - how much longer is all I see !!

Thanks folks. Helen, here's the full quote. It's from Viola, disguised as a man - purportedly talking about a sister, in fact describing herself...
. . She never told her love,
But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud,
Feed on her damask cheek; she pined in thought
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument,
Smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed?
We men may say more, swear more: but indeed
Our shows are more than will; for still we prove
Much in our vows, but little in our love.

He does look a bit sad and desperate after all those years! 😳 Nice tones and textures captured in this, Moira 😃👍🏻
