"An Illustration For The Little Sea Maid" is a work by Harry Clarke, an Irish stained-glass artist and book illustrator known for his distinctive style influenced by the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements. Born on March 17, 1889, Clarke gained acclaim for his intricate and imaginative illustrations that often contained elements of the fantastical and macabre.

This particular illustration was created as part of a series for Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid," a fairy tale that tells the story of a young mermaid willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human prince. Clarke's illustration captures the ethereal and tragic nature of the tale, showcasing his ability to convey emotion and narrative through his detailed and expressive artwork.

Clarke's work on "The Little Mermaid" was part of a larger commission to illustrate a collection of Andersen's fairy tales, which was published in 1916. His illustrations for these stories are considered some of his finest work in the field of book illustration and contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost illustrators of the early 20th century. "An Illustration For The Little Sea Maid" exemplifies Clarke's skill in using monochrome or limited color palettes to create a sense of depth and mood, which aligns with the somber themes of the original story.

Harry Clarke's illustrations, including "An Illustration For The Little Sea Maid," remain highly regarded for their technical brilliance and their ability to capture the imagination, making them enduring examples of the golden age of illustration.
