Water Nymph
Water Nymph by Austrian Painter Joseph Bernard (Hans Zatzka 1866 – 1931); also known as P. Ronsard, Pierre de Ronsard, o H. Zabateri and he signed many of his works as Joseph Bernard, J. Bernard, or Bernard Zatzka to avoid the penalties of braking contracts that limited how many works he could sell.
A charming and beautiful classical art fantasy portrait of a semi nude sea nymph that is partially clothed in a sheer yellow and green gown with a seaweed belt wrapped around her waist floating above the crashing waves on the shoreline.
As she gently floats above the ground as the waves rush up around her, a seagull fly’s by her left thigh as she gazes to the right at the ground with her right hand extended above her head and her left hand is fold up touching her neck.
Below her on the wet ground are different kinds of colorful seashells of red, orange, black and white, along with rocks, twigs and other ocean material.
In the background we can see another seagull flying toward cliffs that make up a rock terrain and golden clouds set up against a blue sky.
