EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of John Duncan, a renowned Scottish artist from the late 19th century. Titled "Untitled [Mermaid] (pencil)" this piece measures 20.3x12.7 cm and is currently housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. Contained within a sketchbook labeled with the number 13 on its front cover, this particular page features one of sixty sketches and illustrations by Duncan. Known for his expertise in tempera paint and admiration for artists like Botticelli, Duncan's talent shines through in this delicate pencil drawing. The subject of the artwork is a stunning mermaid figure emerging from crashing waves. With long flowing hair cascading down her back and fish tails gracefully intertwined beneath her, she exudes an air of enchantment and mystery. This image captures not only the beauty of female form but also highlights Duncan's mastery at capturing intricate details using just a simple pencil. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, further enhancing its allure. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing depiction of a mermaid, we are transported into a world where fantasy meets reality. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to expressing our imagination.
