Pastel painting of a bouquet of red, blue and white flowers on the left, with a blue-green landscape and ochre sky on the right.

Ophelia Among the Flowers

A dense bouquet of blue leaves, red berries and pale and violet blossoms rises on the left of this pastel-toned composition. A blue-green expanse and a glowing ochre sky fill the right, with a faint pale figure near the lower right edge. Soft, blurred strokes give the scene a dreamlike, symbolist quality.

Español: Ofelia entre las flores

Un denso ramo de hojas azules, bayas rojas y flores pálidas y violetas se alza a la izquierda de esta composición en tonos pastel. Una extensión azul verdosa y un cielo ocre brillante ocupan la derecha, con una figura pálida apenas visible cerca del borde inferior. Trazos suaves y difuminados dan a la escena una calidad onírica y simbolista.
