Another Shakespearean scene; here, the sly Iachimo  hides in a chest so he can steal the sleeping Innogen's (or Imogen in later versions) bracelet  as flase proof of infidelity.

Cymbeline is one of the lesser known plays, loosely based on the ancient tale of the Celtic king Cunobeline,  with elements of Boccacio's Decameron  thrown in to make the usual convoluted romantic mess  of mistaken identity, cross-dressing, star-crossed lovers, etc etc. Though labelled a tragedy in the first folio, it  is in fact more  a romantic comedy (albeit a little dark in places).
