Description: Quotation at foot: 'Je suis l'esprit de ton pere!... Venge le d'un meurtre infame et denature.' The battlements of the castle which can be seen in the background. On the left stands the Ghost in armour, his visor up. His left hand is held to his brow and his right hand holds his truncheon which rests on his waist. His head and trunk are turned to the right to confront Hamlet and the Ghost stares at him intently. Hamlet stands to the right, leaning slightly back as if aghast at the apparition of his father. His sword in his right hand rests on his right shoulder and with his left hand Hamlet points at the Ghost. Hamlet wears a black doublet, breeches, hose and cape. The scene is bathed in white light from the right, but one cannot see the moon. Signed 'Eug. Delacroix 1843.'
