David Garrick as King Lear

Oil portrait of a man with wild, pale hair crowned with wheat stalks and flowers, wearing a red robe trimmed with white fur and holding a bundle of wheat. He gazes directly at the viewer against a dark background, and the record identifies him as David Garrick as King Lear, which the costume supports.

Español: David Garrick como el rey Lear

Retrato al óleo de un hombre de cabello claro y desordenado, coronado con espigas de trigo y flores, con una túnica roja ribeteada de piel blanca y un manojo de trigo en la mano. Mira de frente al espectador sobre un fondo oscuro; la ficha lo identifica como David Garrick en el papel del rey Lear, y el vestuario es coherente con ello.

Português: David Garrick como o Rei Lear

Retrato a óleo de um homem de cabelo claro e desgrenhado, coroado com espigas de trigo e flores, vestindo um manto vermelho com acabamento de pele branca e segurando um feixe de trigo. Ele olha de frente para o espectador contra um fundo escuro; a ficha o identifica como David Garrick no papel do Rei Lear, e o figurino é compatível com isso.
