"But surely, Mr. Shakespeare, two heads is better than one"

Will Dyson

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a film director engaged in conversation with a Shakespearean ghostly figure. The scene is illuminated dramatically, with light coming from the ghostly figure on the right. The director, seated on the left, is dressed in a suit and appears surprised, gesturing towards the figure. An old movie camera is visible in the upper left of the drawing. A caption below reads, "But surely Mr. Shakespeare two heads is better than one!"
