"Ophelia lying in the grass, with the wild flowers she has gathered in the folds of her dress. In one hand she holds a bunch of buttercups; in her rich brown hair, which half hides her face, is a coronet of daisies; in the background through the willow-stems a stream winds, and swallows fly low in the air (no sketch received)."

Thanks, Karyatid. Came by to visit, and couldn't resist bringing Waterhouse home with me.

Ophelia painted in 1889 by the Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse. A timeless and ethereal masterpiece.

What is it with Ophelia and Stumbleupon? There seem to be a few too many willowy teens pressing the thumbs up button.

One of the great Pre-Raphaelites.

"Ophelia" Waterhouse depicts Ophelia lying in a riverside meadow in an attitude of deranged abandon, one hand in her tousled hair, the other grasping flowers. The entry in Academy Notes for 1889 reads: "Ophelia lying in the grass, with the wild flowers she has gathered in the folds of her dress. In one hand she holds a bunch of buttercups; in her rich brown hair, which half hides her face, is a coronet of daisies; in the background through the willow-stems a stream winds, and swallows fly low in the air (no sketch received)."

From the page: "Location: Private Collection (Lord Lloyd Webber), UK"
That belongs in a museum!
