About this work

A seated man in dark Elizabethan dress holds a quill and an open blue book while gesturing upward toward a radiating sky. Beside him a laurel-crowned woman in a red drape holds a lyre, a crowned lion rests at left, a jester and cupids surround the bench, and small grey vignettes of Falstaff, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, King Lear, Richard III, Hamlet and others appear above. The word SHAKSPERE is inscribed on the stone base, and the work is by Johann Heinrich Ramberg, dated 1832.
