About this work

This print shows a man in a long, dramatic pose. It’s a full-length portrait of Mr. Holman as Romeo. The artist used ink on paper to make the print. The print includes a quote from a famous play. The line reads: “She speaks! She lives! And we shall still be blessed.” It comes from David Garrick’s version of *Romeo and Juliet*. Look up the technique called chiaroscuro next.
