| Reverse description | A richly detailed high-relief tableau in the style of a sculpted bas-relief fills the entire rectangular field, depicting characters and dramatic scenes from three of Shakespeare's most celebrated plays. At upper left, the legend KING LEAR identifies a bearded elderly king cradling a fallen female figure, evoking the tragedy's final act. In the centre, the legends ROMEO and JULIET flank an intimate scene of the two young lovers in a poignant embrace. At upper right, the legend HAMLET identifies a brooding male figure, with a second figure below clutching a skull, referencing the play's iconic memento mori motif. The composition is unified by a dark, recessed background that accentuates the sculptural depth and theatricality of the design. |
