Edwin Austin Abbey's Figure Study for ‘Measure for Measure’ III is a preparatory work created by the American artist Edwin Austin Abbey (1852–1911). Abbey was a prominent illustrator and painter, known for his detailed historical and literary-themed works. This particular figure study is associated with his larger body of work inspired by William Shakespeare's plays.

The study was created as part of Abbey's preparation for illustrating or painting a scene from Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, specifically Act III. Abbey was deeply influenced by Shakespeare's writings and often used his plays as a source of inspiration for his art. His figure studies were typically executed to refine the poses, gestures, and expressions of the characters he intended to depict in his final compositions. These studies demonstrate Abbey's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to historical and theatrical accuracy.

Abbey's artistic process often involved extensive research into period costumes, settings, and props to ensure authenticity. His figure studies, such as this one, were integral to his creative workflow, allowing him to experiment with composition and character dynamics before committing to a final piece. While the exact medium of this study is not specified, Abbey frequently worked in pencil, ink, or chalk for his preparatory sketches.

The connection to Measure for Measure highlights Abbey's interest in complex moral and social themes, as the play itself explores issues of justice, mercy, and human fallibility. However, the specific scene or characters depicted in this study are not detailed in available records.

Edwin Austin Abbey spent much of his career in England, where he became associated with the Royal Academy and was commissioned for significant works, including murals for the Boston Public Library. His Shakespearean illustrations and paintings remain some of his most celebrated contributions to art and literature.

As a preparatory work, Figure Study for ‘Measure for Measure’ III provides insight into Abbey's artistic process and his dedication to bringing Shakespeare's characters to life. However, further details about this specific study, such as its current location or dimensions, are not widely documented.
