A monumental theatrical history painting by late 19th-century American artist and illustrator Edwin Austin Abbey. The work captures the climactic moment from Shakespeare's King Lear, where Cordelia bids farewell to her treacherous sisters, Goneril and Regan, after being disinherited by her father for refusing to flatter him. In the background, the elderly king departs with his entourage and hound. The painting reflects strong Pre-Raphaelite influences, featuring rich medieval costume detailing, dramatic psychological tension, and widescreen narrative staging.
