"Hamlet" is a black and white illustration by John Austen, created in a distinctive art nouveau style. The artwork features a towering castle, intricately detailed with turrets and spires, set against a dark background. The castle is framed by two slender trees with cascading branches, adding a sense of mystery and grandeur. Austen, known for his illustrations for literary works, captured the dramatic and gothic atmosphere of Shakespeare's famous tragedy through his meticulous line work and use of contrast. This evocative illustration, a fine example of art nouveau, offers a striking visual interpretation of Elsinore Castle.
