About the piece
This evocative oil sketch by Albert Edelfelt captures a moment of mythic wonder as a youth observes mermaids appearing through the mist of a shaded pond. The artist uses expressive brushwork and a deep, earthy palette to create a sense of movement and mystery characteristic of late 19th-century Finnish Symbolism.
