"A Mermaid" (1900) is an oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, who is renowned for his depictions of female characters from mythology and literature. This work continues Waterhouse's exploration of themes surrounding the allure and mystery of mythical creatures, particularly those inhabiting bodies of water. The painting portrays a solitary mermaid combing her hair, a motif that resonates with the seductive and often dangerous nature attributed to these legendary beings in folklore.

The composition of "A Mermaid" is characterized by its vibrant color palette and meticulous attention to detail, both hallmarks of Waterhouse's style. The mermaid is depicted against a seascape backdrop, with her figure occupying the foreground, thus drawing the viewer's focus to her enchanting presence. Waterhouse's use of light and texture imbues the scene with a sense of realism and romanticism, while also capturing the fluidity and reflective qualities of the water that surrounds the central figure.

"A Mermaid" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1901, where Waterhouse's works frequently appeared during his career. The painting is emblematic of the late Victorian fascination with mythological subjects and the aesthetic movement's emphasis on beauty and sensuality. As with many of Waterhouse's paintings, "A Mermaid" has been admired for its embodiment of the Pre-Raphaelite principles of rich color, intricate detail, and an interest in themes from the past, despite the fact that Waterhouse's career extended beyond the period typically associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.

Today, "A Mermaid" is considered an important work within Waterhouse's oeuvre and continues to captivate audiences with its enchanting portrayal of one of the most enduring and evocative mythological figures. The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's skill in blending classical subject matter with his own unique artistic vision, making it a significant contribution to the canon of 19th-century British art.
