Description
The Water Nixie by Herbert James Draper, 1864-1920. 1908. According to Simon Toll, "The expression of the Nixie is rather disturbing, and the image is uncomfortable, as the discourse between her and the beholder is so overtly sexual and predatory. Early drawings in Draper's sketchbook depict the Nixie seducing a young man (and in one case, a satyr) amid the reeds. The Nixie in the painting directs her attention to the spectator"
