Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum outdoor sculpture. Based on photography taken by the artist. The woman in this scene commands her audience with a strong hand gesture and a steely gaze out into the distance. She is courted by a merman who offers her the only gift he has. In the foreground is a pelican with an array of soft rainbow colors on its extended wing. The entire scene is set in a misty haze of cloudy pastels.
