The Mermaid by Howard Pyle (1910). <\/em><\/p>\n

A print of Howard Pyle’s wonderful mermaid painting adorns my bathroom and after looking at the Delaware Art Gallery page<\/a> I’m surprised to discover that it was left unfinished. The Delaware gallery has more of Pyle’s work including his strikingly sparse pirate painting Marooned<\/a><\/em>, which appeared on the cover of the Hal Willner compilation Rogue’s Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys<\/em><\/a>, in 2006.<\/p>\n
