Hamlets Vision | Pedro Américo | 1893 Size:12"x18" in which the knight Ruggiero

in which the knight Ruggiero rescues the chained princess Angelica from a fearsome sea monster

while distorted human figures and an ominous masked man create an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty

The unidentified sitter is depicted with remarkable realism
