"Ophelia" is a painting by the French artist Antoine Auguste Ernest Hébert (1817–1908), created in 1851-1852. The artwork is a representation of the character Ophelia from William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." Hébert's depiction of Ophelia is a testament to the Pre-Raphaelite influence and the Romantic movement, which emphasized emotional depth and a return to nature.

In the painting, Ophelia is portrayed in the moments before her death, lying in a natural setting that is both tranquil and foreboding. Hébert captures the tragic beauty of the character, who is dressed in a flowing white garment that contrasts with the dark waters and the lush greenery of the surrounding landscape. The figure of Ophelia is rendered with a delicate realism, her expression one of serene resignation as she is surrounded by the flora of the riverbank, which alludes to the botanical symbolism found in Shakespeare's text.

Antoine Auguste Ernest Hébert was known for his academic style and his works often contained historical, mythological, and literary themes. "Ophelia" is one of several works by Hébert that draw inspiration from literary sources, showcasing the artist's ability to convey narrative and emotional depth through his paintings. The piece is a notable example of Hébert's skill in capturing the essence of a character and the mood of a scene, making it a significant work within his oeuvre.

The painting is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, and remains an important work for its portrayal of one of literature's most enduring female characters. "Ophelia" by Hébert continues to captivate audiences with its poignant beauty and its reflection of the artistic and cultural preoccupations of the mid-19th century.
