Spotprent met premier Peel tussen tragedie en komedie Possibly 1845 - 1848

"A Great Actor Between Tragedy & Comedy" is a satirical lithograph by the British artist John Doyle, also known as HB, created sometime between 1845 and 1848. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a central figure pulled in opposite directions by two allegorical figures representing Tragedy and Comedy. The image satirizes the dual nature of dramatic performance, highlighting the ability of a great actor to embody both serious and comedic roles. Doyle's use of line and shading gives the print a sense of depth and movement, further emphasizing the tug-of-war between the opposing forces.
