A painting by Arthur Hughes depicting Ophelia, the tragic character from Shakespeare's *Hamlet*. The composition, with its arched top, suggests a lunette, often used for decorative or architectural settings.
Arthur Hughes (1832-1915) was a British painter and illustrator associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. His style is characterised by its romantic and often melancholic themes, attention to detail, and use of symbolism. Hughes's paintings often depict scenes from literature, mythology, and everyday life, rendered with a distinctive sense of colour and light. He also produced numerous illustrations for books and magazines. This painting depicts Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's play *Hamlet*. Ophelia is shown seated on a fallen tree trunk, surrounded by a lush, green environment. Her pale skin and flowing hair contrast with the darker tones of the forest. She holds flowers in her hands, a reference to her mad scene in the play where she distributes flowers with symbolic meanings. The composition, with its arched top, suggests a lunette, often used for decorative or architectural settings. The overall mood is one of quiet contemplation and melancholy, reflecting Ophelia's tragic fate.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
