Orlando
Depicted here reaching up to place his love poems for Rosalind into a tree, Chandler captures the agility and athleticism of Orlando, the youngest son of Sir Rowland de Boys. Orlando's physical prowess, demonstrated by his victory in a wrestling match against a much larger foe and his supremacy in the encounter with a snake and a lioness are highlighted in Chandler’s most athletic pose. Orlando’s character also embodies the whimsy of a romantic idealist, untainted by his brother’s hatred. Despite being mistreated and denied his inheritance by his older brother, Orlando remains courageous, noble, and virtuous. Orlando weds Rosalind.
