The tail of the mermaid is silver grey like the scales of a fish and blends seamlessly with the beautiful upper torso of a female stretching out her long auburn hair in "A Mermaid, 1900" by Waterhouse. The depiction of the mermaid is rendered in bright flesh like tones that create a glowing radiance to the legendary being as she sits on a pebbled shore before a cove at the ocean. The darker background highlight the brilliant shine of the mermaid who seems to be relaxing in this fantastical portrait.Shop painting reproduction on canvas.
