Description
Mermaids, 1899 by Gustav Klimt. Like Flowing Water, Mermaids is another work dwelling on the sensuality of water and the female body. Mermaids looks forward to one of the Faculty Paintings, Jurisprudence, on which he began work the following year. The sheath-like nature of the female figures hair and the surprisingly phallic outline of their bodies are strikingly similar. Furthermore, even the colouring must have been broadly comparable.
