Sometimes your Pho reminds you of ‘Ophelia’ painted by the John Everett Millais (one of the pre-raphaelites) in 1851-2.
Hamlet spoilers !
From Shakespeares hamlet - It depicts Ophelia’s tragic death as she drowns after going mad from Hamlets murder of her father Polonius.
The painting captures her moment of surrender, she sings as her clothes pull her under.
