John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) - The Lady of Shalott (1888), Tate Britain, Apr 2015
A non-nude for a change...
See also (and hopefully Fave) Millais' Ophelia.
"Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack'd from side to side;
'The curse is come upon me!' cried
The Lady of Shalott."
(That's Tennyson, of course. Here's the rest:

The poem also provided the title of an Agatha Christie story (The Mirror Crack'd), which has one of her nastiest plot twists.
