About the work
John Hamilton Mortimer was a key figure in the development of Romanticism in Britain. Among his most famous works are a series of illustrations of Shakespearean characters which he drew in the 1770s, including this dramatic study for King Lear. Mortimer developed a drawing style of fine lines and dense cross-hatching to create intense, compelling images.
