- Abstract
-
"King Lear at the centre, his arm raised and looking up towards the dark sky, as Kent, behind him, attempts to coerce him out of the storm; Edgar, dressed as Tom O'Bedlam, sits huddled by a scant wooden shelter on the lower right, the Fool on the left crouching and looking warily towards Edgar, behind him stands Gloucester, holding a raised torch and reaching out his hand to Lear."--British Museum online catalogue
