This particular illustration captures a pivotal moment in "The Little Mermaid," where the protagonist encounters the sea witch, seeking to transform into a human to pursue her love for a prince. Clarke's depiction is celebrated for its ability to convey the eerie and mystical atmosphere of the underwater scene, as well as the complex emotions of hope, desperation, and foreboding that define this turning point in the story. The artwork showcases Clarke's mastery in creating visually striking images that enhance the narrative depth of the tales he illustrated.
