Physical description
Print showing Act 3, Scene 4 from King John. The print features a scene with three figures. The foreground is dominated by a woman, her veil billowing out around her head and her hands upraised, one of them grasping the top edge of the veil. Her gaze is directed away from the viewer and towards the roof of the tent. She is being watched by two men who stand in the shadowy doorway of the tent. One is dress in armour, the other wears robes and is gesturing towards the woman.
