This preliminary sketch by Eugène Delacroix, titled "Scene from Hamlet," captures a dramatic moment from Shakespeare's play. The drawing depicts a scene with multiple figures, likely Ophelia's death, with one figure kneeling on the floor, another standing and looking on, and another figure in the background. Delacroix was known for his Romantic style, using expressive brushstrokes and dramatic composition, making this sketch a valuable insight into his creative process. The simple lines of the drawing highlight the artist's focus on capturing the emotional intensity of the scene.
