Othello Sketchbook
This sketchbook contains costume studies Delacroix executed while attending a performance of Shakespeare’s "Othello" at the Théâtre Impérial Italien in Paris on June 29, 1855. He jotted quick sketches of the actors—members of a visiting English theater company—in graphite and made annotations about color so that he could later enhance the drawings with watercolor. He wrote that he hoped the performance would "bear fruit" in his mind, a process potentially aided by these sketches that recall his immediate impressions of the characters in the play.
