Hamlet 

John Austen's "Hamlet" is a captivating black and white line drawing depicting a figure in a circular frame. The subject, likely inspired by Shakespeare's tragic hero, is clad in elaborate attire. He is adorned with a fur-trimmed robe, intricate jewelry, and a belt that suggests a medieval setting. The circular frame reinforces the idea of confinement, a theme central to the Shakespearean play. This artwork, created by Austen, known for his illustrative work, captures the essence of Hamlet's contemplative and melancholic nature.
