Rosenkrantz & Guildenstern are characters in William Shakespeare's tragedy Hamlet. The circular composition of this work measures 44 cm. in diameter and was painted in Umbria, Italy in January 2021.
From Hamlet:
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason,
how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express° and admirable, in action how like an
angel, in apprehension how like a god: the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals; and yet to me,
what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me; nor woman neither, though by your smiling
you seem to say so.
