Henry Fuseli, Lady Macbeth Seizing the Daggers. Exhibited 1812.  Oil on canvas, support: 1016 x 1270 mm.

MACBETH I’ll go no more:
    I am afraid to think what I have done; 
    Look on’t again I dare not.

LADY MACBETH Infirm of purpose! 
    Give me the daggers: the sleeping and the dead 
    Are but as pictures: ‘tis the eye of childhood 
    That fears a painted devil. If he do bleed, 
    I’ll gild the faces of the grooms withal; 
    For it must seem their guilt. 

- Macbeth, Act II, scene ii.
