Carbonell immerses us fully in the evocative universe of maritime mythology. The composition revives the classical legend of mermaids, presenting a hypnotic female figure with a fish tail who, swayed by the waves, plays a reed flute. Behind her, silhouetted against a cloud-streaked sky and a waning moon, sails an imposing three-masted ship. Carbonell achieves a dreamlike and timeless atmosphere, greatly enhanced by the technical choice of sepia inking, which gives the print the warmth and mystery of ancient logbooks and historical navigation maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe unshakable status of the Artist's Proof (P.A.)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe high documentary value of this piece lies in its dual nature.
