The artwork, created with pen, ink, watercolor, and graphite on paper, measures 35.6x25.9 cm and is housed in the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA.

His attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays the characters' expressions and costumes while capturing their inner turmoil. Through this artwork, Dadd explores themes of persuasion and malevolent intentions that drive individuals towards destructive actions fueled by jealousy. The theatrical nature of the scene adds depth and intensity to these emotions. Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both Dadd's artistic talent and his interpretation of one of Shakespeare's most renowned plays – a timeless exploration of human nature through tragedy.
