Hamlet: Hamlet and Laertes in the Grave of Ophelia

Eugène Delacroix

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a group of people around a gravesite. A man in a wide-brimmed hat and feathered hatband stands behind with arms outstretched. A man and woman stand behind him, the woman holds a candle. A man crouches on the left side holding a coffin lid. A man and woman embrace over a grave; the man holds a shovel. Two tombstones are in the foreground. A crucifix-topped grave marker with a body nailed to it stands in the background. Trees stand behind. The drawing is signed in the lower-left corner.
