Scene from 'Hamlet' depicting the two grave diggers, in front of a shadowy stone archway. One, short and plump and wearing a pale jacket, stands to the right with his legs apart and his hands on his hips, a shovel in his right hand. The other, a tall and thin man in a black jacket and tall hat, leans against a stone wall to the left, his hands resting on the handle of a pick.
