Sketch for an unidentified Shakespeare play 1993

This charcoal sketch, titled "Sketch for an unidentified Shakespeare play" was created by Edwin Austin Abbey in 1993. The piece depicts three figures in a dimly lit setting. The woman on the left appears to be holding a small object, possibly a cup. The two women on the right are seated, one with a book in hand, the other looking away from the viewer. Abbey was known for his detailed and dramatic illustrations, and this sketch, while unfinished, offers a glimpse into his creative process.
