A Mermaid
A red-haired mermaid sits on a rocky shore, combing her long hair with both hands as green-blue waves break behind her. Her bare upper body is turned toward the viewer, her fishlike tail draped in dark grey over the rocks, and loose brushwork renders the sea and distant town under a soft, muted light.
