Original artwork description:

This is my interpretation of Hamlet finally gaining the conviction in his actions to kill his uncle and avenge the murder of his father. Here I used David Tennant's Hamlet as a good template for the pose, but I see Hamlet as a younger figure than David Tennant and with a slightly nerdier and insecure look to indicate and explain his personal struggle in avenging his father. A milksop forced by fate and his father's ghost to eventually become a man of action. This is my portrayal of his moment of true action.

12x9 inch Charcoal on paper. Will be matted.
