"Dirge of the Three Queens" is an 1895 painting by the American artist Edwin Austin Abbey (1852–1911), renowned for his work in illustration and mural painting. This artwork is part of Abbey's oeuvre that reflects his interest in literary and historical themes, often drawing inspiration from Shakespearean plays and other classic texts. The painting depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's play "Richard III," in which the three queens—Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and the Duchess of York—lament the tragic fate of their children and kin, all victims of the titular character's ruthless quest for power.

The composition of "Dirge of the Three Queens" is marked by Abbey's signature attention to detail and his ability to convey deep emotion through the expressions and postures of his figures. The queens are portrayed in a moment of shared grief, their sorrow uniting them despite their different backgrounds and experiences. Abbey's use of color and light enhances the somber mood of the scene, with the dark tones and the figures' solemn attire reflecting the weight of their loss.

Edwin Austin Abbey's "Dirge of the Three Queens" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual interpretation of Shakespearean drama at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is a testament to Abbey's skill in narrative art and his capacity to evoke the pathos of Shakespeare's characters through the medium of paint. While the exact location of the original painting may not be widely known, its historical and artistic value ensures its place within the canon of American art inspired by English literature.
