OPHELIA IN THE BATH - A LIFEDRAWING EXPERIENCE

Ophelia is a painting by British Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1851 and 1852 and in the collection of Tate Britain in London. It depicts Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, singing before she drowns in a river in Denmark.

Millais worked from model Elizabeth Siddal who was an artist and poet as well as an artist's muse. She posed in Millais's studio in a bath full of that was heated by oil lamps underneath. (Millais became so absorbed by his painting that he didn't notice when the lamps went out and the water got cold.)
