"If I do die before thee, pr'ythee shroud me in one of those same sheets": plate 8 from Othello (Act 4, Scene 3) 1844 Théodore Chassériau French In 1844 Eugène Piot commissioned the young Chassériau to prepare fifteen illustrations to Shakespeare's Othello. Inspired by a series of ground-breaking Hamlet lithographs that Delacroix had created one year earlier, the younger artist opted for the more linear technique of etching. His expressive conception of form had been learned in Ingres's studio then developed under Delacroix. In the series, key exchanges offer a compressed summary of much of the play, with a final cluster devoted to the tragic conclusion. Here, Emilia helps Desdemona prepare for bed in a scene filled with foreboding. Sheets recently used to make Othello and Desdemona's wedding bed are now imagined as future shrouds..
