About this work
A bearded man in an Elizabethan ruff, fur-trimmed robe and cross pendant stands with hands folded, calm and composed, while beside him a second, grotesquely swollen figure in padded sleeves and bulbous gloved fists brandishes a rapier, his face twisted into a leering grin.
Worked entirely in fine black ink, the print builds every fold and shadow from obsessively repeated crosshatched lines rather than tone, giving the costumes a carved, engraved density. The exaggerated caricature and theatrical staging give the scene a satirical, unsettling charge fitting for a literary prologue.
