About this work

An oval engraved portrait shows a man in a feathered and flower-trimmed headdress, glancing sideways with wide eyes and holding a bundle of wheat. A draped garment falls from his bare shoulder, and a verse inscription appears beneath the oval. The print, titled Edgar from King Lear, Act III, Scene III, was published by John Hamilton Mortimer in 1775.
