King Lear - Act 1 - Scene 1

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Edwin Austin Abbey
1898

Cordelia, the heroine of Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear,
stands at the center of this composition, having just been
renounced by her father in the play's openig scene. King Lear
is seen exiting at the right, accompanied by his attendants.
While the sympathetic king of France bends to kiss her hand,
Cordelia confronts her elder sisters, Regan and Goneril, who
have alienated their father from her.

Abbey, born in Philadephia, settled in England in 1882 and
responded to the artistic influence of his English contemporaries,
such as Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
