About the piece
Created in 1869 by Victor Müller, this evocative painting captures the tragic Shakespearean heroine Ophelia in a moment of quiet contemplation. The work is defined by its masterful treatment of light and texture, from the delicate lace of her gown to the soft, muted foliage of the surrounding willow trees, making it a quintessential example of 19th-century romanticism.
