Hamlet 

"Hamlet" is a black and white illustration by John Austen, an English artist known for his work in the early 20th century. This detailed illustration, likely inspired by Shakespeare's play, depicts Hamlet standing with a skull at his feet, while surrounded by theatrical masks and a swirling background suggesting the play's themes of death and delusion. The inclusion of a cherub and a theatrical mask in the form of a skull further emphasizes the play's exploration of mortality and the nature of human existence. This illustration captures the dark and complex nature of Hamlet, making it a powerful and evocative piece.
