EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Queen in Hamlet, 1895" by Edwin Austin Abbey. The pastel on paperboard artwork, measuring 70.8x55.6 cm, is housed in the American Art Museum at the Smithsonian Institute in the USA. In this piece, Abbey masterfully portrays a scene from Shakespeare's iconic play, Hamlet. The Queen, adorned with a regal crown and dressed in elegant attire, exudes an air of melancholy and sadness. Her expressive face reflects deep emotion as she embodies both strength and vulnerability. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of medieval times, this image transports viewers to another era - the 14th century or possibly even the 15th century. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for England's rich history and cultural heritage. Abbey's attention to detail is evident through his expert use of color and shading techniques. Every stroke brings life to the woman portrayed here - her femininity radiates through her posture and gaze. "The Queen in Hamlet" captures not only a moment from one of Shakespeare's most famous plays but also encapsulates universal human emotions that transcend time: sadness, melancholy, and introspection. This artwork serves as a reminder that art has the power to evoke powerful feelings within us all.
