Description

Illustration by Edwin Austen Abbey for Judith Shakespeare: Her Love Affairs and Other Adventures by William Black. New York: Harper, 1884. Pen and ink over graphite underdrawing with scraping out.

One of the leading lights in America's Golden Age of Illustration (1870-1930), Edwin Austin Abbey (1852-1911), created this pen and ink drawing for Judith Shakespeare, a novel published in 1884. Abbey's rapidly maturing technique and style are evident in this scene drawn with remarkable detail--as seen in his rendering of Judith and her companion, their clothing, controlled use of light and tone, and balanced placement of figures. In the story, Shakespeare's second daughter unwisely allows a young man to have a preliminary look at her father's manuscript of The Tempest. - from the Library of Congress website
