This print shows John Barrymore on stage as Hamlet. He stands in dark tights with a white ruffled collar. His right hand rests on his chest, left arm outstretched. The print is a caricature. It exaggerates Barrymore’s face and pose for humor. The artist made him look both dramatic and funny at once. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
