"Ophelia" is a notable sculpture by the French artist Antoine Augustin Préault (1809–1879), which captures the tragic figure of Ophelia from William Shakespeare's play "Hamlet." Préault, who was a part of the Romantic movement, is known for his expressive and often dramatic sculptures that convey intense emotion and psychological depth. The sculpture of Ophelia is no exception, as it embodies the pathos and despair of the character who meets her end through drowning.

Created in the 19th century, Préault's "Ophelia" is a testament to the artist's fascination with literary themes and his ability to translate them into the visual language of sculpture. The work is characterized by its detailed rendering of Ophelia's form and the fluidity that suggests her watery demise. Préault's skill in capturing the texture of wet clothing and the limpness of Ophelia's body contributes to the sculpture's poignant effect.

The sculpture is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it reflects the broader 19th-century interest in Shakespearean drama and the Romantic preoccupation with themes of love, death, and nature. Préault's "Ophelia" has been discussed in art historical literature as an example of the Romantic movement's engagement with Shakespearean subjects and as a work that demonstrates the sculptor's innovative approach to form and material.

While the exact dimensions and current location of the sculpture may require further research, "Ophelia" by Antoine Préault remains an important work within the canon of French Romantic sculpture and continues to be studied for its emotional resonance and technical accomplishment.
