Description: Quotation preceding picture: 'Whither wilt thou lead me? speak, I'll go no farther.' The platform, castle towers in background at left and right, the sea in the distance at centre, the whole backlit by a partially obscured full moon. At left, Hamlet, his sword drawn but pointing to the ground. His right hand rests on the wall that runs diagonally across the centre of the picture. He faces forward, his feet wide apart. He is leaning slightly forward. He appears to have been following the Ghost who stands at right foreground. This latter is dressed in armour and wears a plumed helmet with the visor up. He has a long cloak that reaches the ground. He has a truncheon in his right hand and appears to be beckoning Hamlet with it to follow him further. His head is turned over his right shoulder in the direction of Hamlet.
