Hand Carved Wood Bust of Ophelia Shakespeare Inspired Wood Bust
£ 75.00
On offer is a hand carved wood bust of Ophelia, inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Carved from a single block of wood, the sculpture captures Ophelia’s serene yet tragic expression, adorned with delicately rendered flowers and foliage referenced in the play. The piece stands at approximately 10.5 inches tall and displays finely worked botanical detail, including crowflowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples.
An inscribed passage from Hamlet appears on the base, enhancing its literary resonance. The sculpture is signed on the reverse, though the maker remains unidentified. Likely 20th century in origin, it reflects skilled craftsmanship and a thoughtful interpretation of one of Shakespeare’s most poignant characters. A compelling hand carved wood bust with strong artistic and narrative appeal.
