Nigel Ramsey Newton made a single painting, Hamlet at the New Theatre, in 1934. A stage scene in oil, it shows actors in Elizabethan dress under bright stage lights. The brushwork is smooth, the colors warm browns and tans, with a few sharp white highlights on the costumes.

If you’ve ever stood in a real theater and watched a play, you’ll recognize the moment he caught. Tap Hamlet at the New Theatre to zoom in on the actors’ faces and the painted backdrop.
