Hamlet: The Death of Ophelia

Eugène Delacroix

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a woman lying in a river. The woman has dark hair and a bracelet on her wrist. Her body is partially submerged in the water, with her head tilted back. Her left arm is bent at the elbow and her right arm is extended upwards, with her hand grasping a curved branch on the riverbank. The riverbank is lined with trees and rocks. The water has ripples and there are some leaves floating on the surface. The artist's signature and the year "1843" are visible in the bottom-left corner.
