Description:
Inspired by Sir Everett Millais 1894 painting in the Tate, depicting Ophelia’s suicide in Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
“Ophelia “ is a young noblewoman of Denmark, the daughter of Polonius, sister of Laertes and potential wife of Prince Hamlet, who, due to Hamlet's actions, ends up in a state of madness that ultimately leads to her drowning.-
This is not a painting of a love story rather perhaps the most poetic death in Literature.
