This painting shows a person dressed in a black and blue costume with ruffled sleeves and a high collar. They’re wearing blue shoes and holding a dark cloak over one arm. The outfit looks fancy, like something from a play. The label says this is Charles Kean as Hamlet, painted in 1838. The artist used soft watercolors, keeping the background plain so the costume stands out. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more like this.
