"Ophelia" by Thomas Stothard is a notable work of art by the 18th-century British painter, illustrator, and draftsman. Thomas Stothard (1755–1834) was a prolific artist known for his delicate and elegant illustrations that graced the pages of literary works, as well as his larger historical and mythological paintings. His depiction of Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet," is one of several interpretations by artists of the era who were drawn to the dramatic and emotional potential of the scene.

The painting captures the moment from the play where Ophelia, driven to madness by the death of her father and the complex machinations of the court, is found floating in a stream, surrounded by the natural beauty that contrasts with her tragic fate. Stothard's interpretation is characterized by his refined neoclassical style, with an emphasis on grace and clarity of form. His Ophelia is often depicted with an ethereal quality, highlighting the romantic and tragic aspects of the character.

While the exact date of creation for Stothard's "Ophelia" is not well-documented, it is likely to have been produced during the late 18th or early 19th century, a period when Stothard's work was in high demand for book illustrations and when the subject of Ophelia was popular among artists and the public. The painting is an example of Stothard's ability to convey narrative and emotion through his art, contributing to the rich visual tradition associated with Shakespeare's works.

As with many works of art from this period, the current location or ownership of Stothard's "Ophelia" may not be publicly known, and it may reside in a private collection or have limited visibility to the public. However, the piece remains an important part of Stothard's oeuvre and continues to be of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of British art and Shakespearean illustration.
