Hermione, the loyal and virtuous wife of Leontes in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, is a complex and mythological figure, known for her wisdom, strength, and unwavering love. In this striking image, Anderson's portrayal of Hermione is both elegant and intense. She is depicted standing on the stairs, her profile revealing a deep concentration and inner turmoil. Her elaborate Victorian dress, adorned with intricate patterns and a striking bracelet, adds to the mythological and theatrical atmosphere of the scene. Hermione's iconic fan and spectacles are also prominently featured, further emphasizing her intellectual and wise nature.

This engraving, which was produced during the height of her fame, offers a glimpse into the world of 19th century theater and the enduring power of Shakespeare's timeless stories. The Iberian Illustration, a prominent publication of the time, captured this moment in history, preserving Anderson's performance for future generations to appreciate. This colored print, with its intricate details and rich colors, invites us to imagine the magic of the theater and the captivating artistry of Mary Anderson as Hermione.
