Hedwig Esther Pillitz painted a 1933 portrait of the actress Dorothy Black dressed as Emily Brontë for the play *The Brontës* by Alfred Sangster. She leaves behind few details, but the painting shows a moment on stage, with Black in period dress and a serious gaze. Take a closer look at the brushwork in the folds of the costume—it’s sharp enough to feel the fabric. Next, tap to see how Pillitz framed the actor within the stage’s woodwork.
