ophelia

This chalk drawing by a Victoria street artist is based on the art of J.W. Waterhouse. He is considered a modern Pre-Raphaelite, working at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th centuries.

Ophelia is putting flowers in her hair, moments before her death by drowning.

This particular drawing had been rained on for 3 days so that added to its ghostly quality.
