"Ophelia", a 1910 engraving by Timothy Cole, depicts a woman with flowing hair adorned with a floral crown, likely inspired by the character Ophelia from Shakespeare's "Hamlet". Cole's intricate detail and mastery of light and shadow create a melancholic mood, enhancing the sense of tragedy associated with Ophelia's fate. This artwork is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a testament to Cole's contribution to the world of printmaking.
