Title: [Nude woman playing lyre] / H.P.
Creator(s): Pyle, Howard, 1853-1911, artist
Date Created/Published: [between 1880 and 1910]
Summary: Illustration shows a nude young woman, strategically covered by her long dark hair, standing on a rock, holding a lyre. Two skulls lie on the rocks behind her. Below her, a drowning man in the waves clutches at her feet. The young woman is probably the Lorelei, a German siren who sang songs of unbearable sweetness and lured sailors to their deaths on the rocks of the Rhine River. Howard Pyle was one of the most influential illustrators of the 19th century. His illustrations for such children's classics as Robin Hood, King Arthur, and his famous book of pirates are still popular.
