Den Lille Havfrue (The Little Mermaid)



I am horrified by how long it has been since I last posted. No good excuses. Anyways this is an illustration of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. This is where she has decided to cast herself into the sea rather than kill her beloved prince, and is now waiting for her body to become seafoam. I enjoyed reading the original story again, there's been a couple of different movies made that didn't stick to the plot at all, and it's actually a charming tale with a happy ending! (Not Disney happy but still happy)
