This reproduction of Sir John Gilbert's Shylock after the Trial is taken from a steel engraving by G. Greatbach published in Charles Knight's two-volume Imperial Edition of The Works of Shakespere (London: Virtue and Company, 1873-76). Despite the name, the picture actually depicts the conversation between Antonio's friends Salerino and Salanio in Act 2, Scene 7, in which they describe Shylock running through the streets lamenting his eloped daughter and lost ducats.

Salanio: I never heard a passion so confused,
So strange, outrageous, and so variable,
As the dog Jew did utter in the streets:
'My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter!
Justice! the law! my ducats, and my daughter!
