Aubrey Beardsley, Hamlet Follows the Ghost of His Father, circa 1900, from Shakespeare

Sale price¥66,000

This work is an illustration based on Hamlet, one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, and depicts the memorable scene in which the protagonist Hamlet wanders through the forest at night, guided by the ghost of his late father.

The painting depicts Hamlet walking amongst slender, tangled trees, enveloped in a vertical composition.
He does not see the ghost in front of him; rather, he senses its presence as an absent one in the darkness and silence of the jungle.

This work, which first appeared in the December 1892 issue of The Bee, is known as a piece that highlights Beardsley's ability to interpret stories and his skillful spatial design, with its fantastical and tense presentation.

After Beardsley's early death in 1898, this painting was included in a memorial collection produced by John Lane Publishing, the publisher of his masterpiece, Salome.
This is an original antique print produced at that time.
