| dc.description | 'This print reproduces the painting exhibited in 1774. Three aquatint impressions are known, this particular one representing the last state in this small group. The ink is now unusually dark, adding to the sombre mood of despair. The artist has also touched up the impression with watercolour, the brushwork revealing that he planned to add to the density in certain areas such as Lear's beard and the landscape behind. Curiously, there are a number of lines lightly etched across the lower part of the design, providing a thin, atmospheric veil.' (Pressly, 121) | en |
