Original artwork description:

« Ondine » are Germanic water nymphs and they were quite a popular mythological entity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries — Maurice Ravel’s piano masterpiece “Gaspard de la nuit” has a whole first movement entitled “Ondine.” This particular water nymph is a quotation from one of Antoine Watteau’s famous nymph paintings, now at the Louvre, where the female figure is being spied on by a lascivious satyr. She has been displaced into the waves of the seashore and the only menace facing her are the rising tides of the ocean as the sun sets behind the horizon.
