Ophelia 1852 . Arthur Hughes (1832-1915) . Hughes' early Ophelia (seen here) is among the most chilling, bleak images of her. Strewn with wilted rushes rather than wildflowers, she seems barely in her teens and utterly bereft of hope...innocence destroyed.. The lettering on the frame quotes Gertrude's description of Ophelia's fate in Act IV, Scene 7, beginning "There is a willow grows aslant a brook...". ©2006 TopFoto
