Alphonse Mucha designed this lithograph for Sarah Bernhardt’s controversial cross-gender portrayal of Shakespeare’s Danish prince at her Théâtre de la Renaissance. The Byzantine mosaic backdrop and sinuous letterforms exemplify Mucha’s fusion of Slavic folk motifs with Parisian commercial art, while Bernhardt’s dark Renaissance doublet creates dramatic contrast against the golden ornamental aureole.
