About the piece
Created in 1818 by American artist Washington Allston, this work brings to life the characters Hermia and Helena from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. The composition uses dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight the intimacy of the two figures against a moody, romanticized forest backdrop featuring a distant waterfall.
