"Ophelia, Nashville, Tennessee" is a striking black and white photograph by Louise Dahl-Wolfe, taken sometime between 1932 and 1960. The image depicts a seated woman in a patterned blouse, gazing directly at the camera. The subject is framed by the back of a white painted chair and a large leaf, creating a sense of intimacy and isolation.

This image is a classic example of portrait photography and is a compelling study in human expression.
