About this work

This engraved print shows a dramatic scene from Shakespeare's King Lear, Act 3, Scene 4, with an aged, bare-chested king tearing at his garments amid a storm-battered hut. A cloaked figure raises a torch while a crouching companion gestures and a seated, half-clothed figure watches from the corner.
