animal painter; worked many years for his

OPHELIA, Sir John E. Millais, Bart., Mrs. Fuller-Maitland, London; canvas, H. 2 ft. 4-1/2 in. × 3 ft. 7 in. Immersed in a deep stream, through whose clear waters her richly brocaded gown and a tangled mass of half-floating weeds are visible, Ophelia, her head just above the surface, with her auburn hair spread out like threads of gold, is singing her last song. The background was painted on the Ewell River, near Kingston. Miss Siddal, afterwards Mrs. D. G. Rossetti, sat for the face of Ophelia. Royal Academy, 1852. Engraved by J. Stephenson (1866).
OPHELION, painter, date and country
unknown. His pictures of Pan, and of
Aërope, wife of Atreus, are mentioned in
the epigrams of Nicodemus of Heraclea.—*
