Macbeth consulting the witches

Meet this Scottish king.

The French artist Eugène Delacroix has based this print of Macbeth meeting three witches on a scene in the famous play written by William Shakespeare.

Observe the faces of the witches and Macbeth. Do you think they are giving him good news?

Notice how Delacroix uses the light from the fire beneath the cauldron to light the faces of the characters.

Invent a spell you could mix in this bubbling cauldron and write the list of ingredients you will need. Hint: if you’d like to print the image only, right-click on it and select save, then print it.
