Edwin Austin Abbey's "Keeper of Prison" is a costume sketch for the 1898 planned production of Richard II, which features a detailed depiction of the prison keeper’s attire in full-body view. Abbey, an American artist known for his illustrations and historical paintings, crafted a visually rich design with the use of watercolor, showcasing a green cloak over a black outfit, paired with a brown hat and shoes. The sketch, created between 1852 and 1911, captures the essence of historical costume design through Abbey's unique artistic vision.
