EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Illustration for Shakespeare's Macbeth" transports viewers into the tragic world of one of William Shakespeare's most famous plays. Created by Alice Bolingbroke Woodward in 1920, this artwork captures a pivotal moment from the play that showcases Lady Macbeth's guilt and remorse. The illustration depicts Lady Macbeth standing alone, her hand outstretched towards the viewer. The quote accompanying the image - "All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand" - echoes her desperate attempt to rid herself of guilt after orchestrating Duncan's murder. Through Woodward's skillful use of lines and shading, she brings forth an intense sense of anguish and despair on Lady Macbeth's face. The choice to focus solely on Lady Macbeth highlights her internal struggle with morality and consequences. The artist masterfully conveys both fragility and strength in this portrayal, capturing the complexity of her character. Woodward draws inspiration from Samuel David’s retelling in "Stories from Shakespeare" which adds depth to this interpretation. This lithograph serves as a visual representation that complements Shakespeare’s powerful words, allowing audiences to delve deeper into his timeless tragedy. Displayed within a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print invites admirers of English literature and theater to immerse themselves in the haunting world created by William Shakespeare over four centuries ago.
