About the Item

Early 20th-century Art Nouveau decorative bronze depicting a smiling mermaid carried by a wave above a fountain with a mask. The reference is to the fairy tale by writer Hans Christian Andersen as seen by the presence of the sea foam-destiny of the mermaids was dissolving in that-and by the tail split in two as if they were legs. The mask recalls typical Mannerist fountains.
