Ferdinand Leeke's 1900 painting "Meerjungfrauen" depicts a fantastical scene with a human figure kneeling on a rocky shore offering a basket of fruit to two mermaids resting on a nearby rock. The painting's lush greens and blues evoke the ocean, emphasizing the mermaids' mythical nature and the alluring setting. The painting is a testament to Leeke's skill in capturing both the beauty and the wonder of mythical creatures.
