The painting shows Ellen Terry dressed as Lady Macbeth, wearing a fancy dress with beetle wings and a velvet cloak. This dress is really interesting because it was specially designed for Ellen Terry by Alice Comyns Carr. It's made with real beetle wings and velvet. To learn more about the artist who created this print, look up the work of artist: Sargent, John Singer.
