Ophelia | Jean-Baptiste Bertrand | 1872

Ophelia floats almost horizontally across a still pool, her black dress spreading into the green water. Flowers gather around her face and remain loosely held against her chest; nearby, a small embroidered pouch introduces a note of ordinary, personal possession. Bertrand sets the pale skin and red hair against dense reeds and overhanging foliage. The elongated composition slows the eye along the body, holding Shakespeare’s tragic heroine within a natural world whose luxuriant growth continues around her.
