Explanation:

Analyze the textual excerpt and the painting

The text shows King Lear banishing Cordelia and departing with Burgundy: "That face of hers again. Therefore be gone / Without our grace, our love, our benison. / Come, noble Burgundy." This indicates Lear is turning away from Cordelia and leaving her behind.

Evaluate the visual details in the painting

In the painting, the central figure in red (King Lear) is physically turned away from the female figure on the left (Cordelia), looking and walking toward the right side of the canvas where Burgundy and other attendants are located.

Match the visual details to the options

The second option states: "At the painting's right, viewers see Lear turn his back on his daughter and leave." This directly corresponds to the dramatic action of banishment described in the text.

Answer:

• In the painting's center, viewers see a man bend over a woman's hand to kiss it.
• At the painting's right, viewers see Lear turn his back on his daughter and leave. (Correct answer)
• In the painting's background, viewers see various attendants of the king carrying out their duties.
• At the painting's left, viewers see one of the older sisters standing just in front of Lear's throne.
