Waterhouse counted Lawrence Alma-Tadema & Frederic Leighton amonfst his influences. One of Waterhouse's most famous paintings is The Lady of Shalott, a study of Elaine of Astolat, who dies of grief when Lancelot will not love her. He actually painted three different versions of this character, in 1888, 1894, and 1916. Another of Waterhouse's favorite subjects was Ophelia; the most famous of his paintings of Ophelia depicts her just before her death, putting flowers in her hair as she sits on a tree branch leaning over a lake. Like The Lady of Shalott and other Waterhouse paintings, it deals with a woman dying in or near water.

Waterhouse produced many other famous oil paintings during the pre-raphaelite period including The Lady of Shalott, Ophelia, Hylas and the Nymphs, Tristan & Isolde, Mermaid & The Siren.
