Description:
Portrait of John Philip Kemble as Hamlet. Full length, standing, forward, facing
forward. Right arm at side holding hat, left hand slightly extended as though
gesturing to make a point. He wears trunk hose with panels and short cloak. Around
his neck on ribbon is chivalric order and on right breast is star-shaped insignia.
The horizon is very low and there is a full moon barely visible above the horizon
at right. The work would appear to have been influenced by the Thomas Lawrence
painting.
