This is a great piece of art that was left intentionally "indefinite" and "suggestive" by the artist Edward Burne-Jones. There are so many elements to digest. The myths of the Mermaid, the dangers of the dark, unknown sea, the expressions of the Mermaid (Some have suggested a Mona Lisa smile). The ambiguity is part of the charm and beauty of this piece. I have adorned the original with decorative papers suggestive of the period in which Edward Burne-Jones painted and lived.
