WILLIAM HAMILTON. Male Traveler in a Storm (recto); Anatomical Studies of a Foot (verso)

Male Traveler in a Storm (recto); Anatomical Studies of a Foot (verso). Artist: William Hamilton (British, London 1751-1801 London). Dimensions: Sheet: 9 7/16 × 7 9/16 in. (24 × 19.2 cm). Subject: May relate to William Shakespeare (British, Stratford-upon-Avon 1564-1616 Stratford-upon-Avon). Date: 1770-80.
Hamilton belonged to a generation determined to expand the scope of the arts in Britain. He traveled to Rome as a teenager to study with Antonio Zucchi, returned to England to make decorative paintings for Robert Adam, then entered the Royal Academy Schools in 1769. From that point forward he focused on historical and literary subjects, together with portaits. This windblown figure may represent Edgar in Shakespeare's "King Lear.".
