The composition revives the legend of mermaids, presenting a hypnotic female figure with a scaled tail who, emerging from the waves, plays a reed flute. Behind her, silhouetted against a sky traversed by a waning moon, sails an imposing three-masted sailing ship. Carbonell achieves a timeless atmosphere, masterfully enhanced by the choice of sepia inking, which gives the scene the historical patina of ancient navigation maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Anatomy of a Workshop Proof\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eThe immense interest of this piece for graphic scholarship lies in its technical nature.
