Romeo and Juliet at the Masquerade (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5)
Not on view
Romeo and Juliet meet at a masked party given by her family, the Capulets. Based on a drawing by Hamilton, Bartolozzi's print shows Romeo dressed as a pilgrim, to echo the playful language of Shakespeare's text. Juliet's nurse, at right, is apprehensive about this intrusion by a Montague into the domain of their declared enemies, the Capulets.
