Shakespearian Scene

Henry Liverseege 1803 - 1832

Summary

Unidentified Shakespearian scene (or tragedic scene inspired by Shakespeare). A shadowy castle corridor with arched doorways just visible in the background. A young woman in a pale dress appears to have fainted and is caught by a shadowy figure in robes. At the woman's feet stands a second figure cast in shadow; dressed in a suit of armour, he leans against a stone pillar.
