Ophelia's Lament: A Melancholic Contemplation: An artist's rendition of Ophelia, often associated with sadness and death from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The subject is shown floating in water, holding a flower in her right hand while wearing a crown of flowers on her head. Her hair flows into the water, and she gazes downward, looking at a book or paper. This scene is meant to evoke a sense of melancholy and introspection, as Ophelia contemplates her life and fate.
