"If I Profane with My Unworthiest Hand" is an artwork by William Hatherell, a British illustrator and painter known for his contributions to literary and genre subjects. The piece is inspired by a scene from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Romeo and Juliet," specifically the moment when Romeo first meets Juliet at the Capulet ball in Act I, Scene V. The title of the artwork is a direct quotation from Romeo's dialogue, as he speaks to Juliet, expressing his unworthiness to touch her hand.

William Hatherell (1855–1928) was a Victorian artist who often depicted scenes from literature and history. His work is characterized by its narrative quality and attention to detail, which is evident in "If I Profane with My Unworthiest Hand." The painting captures the initial encounter between the star-crossed lovers, showcasing their instant attraction and the beginning of their ill-fated romance.

The artwork is a visual representation of the themes of love at first sight and the sacredness of romantic connection, which are central to Shakespeare's play. Hatherell's illustration contributes to the rich tradition of visual arts interpreting Shakespeare's works, offering viewers a glimpse into the Elizabethan era's aesthetics and cultural context through the lens of a later period's artistic sensibilities.

As a piece of historical and literary illustration, "If I Profane with My Unworthiest Hand" serves as an example of how artists like Hatherell engaged with classic texts, bringing them to life for contemporary audiences and preserving their relevance through visual storytelling.
