A Mermaid, by John William Waterhouse, 1900.
Mermaid and merman, 1866. Anonymous Russian folk artist.

A mermaid, also known as a merwoman, is a mythological creature with a female human head and upper body and the tail of a fish. Mermaids are said to live mostly in the water, although sometimes they are known to come out of the water and sit on the large rocks above the sea. It was thought that they would make boats crash with their siren-like calls.
