The painting "Mermaid" (1906) by John Reinhard Weguelin, showing a mermaid resting on the sandy beach, just above the blue-green waves of a calm sea. Her tail is blue and curls toward the foreground as she faces left, her right arm outstretched as her left arm supports her. Her hair is fair or light brown, and bound at her neck, while she wears a garland over her ears and crown.
