Orpheus Wooing the Mermaid (Orphée charmant la Sirène)

I captured this scene at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen as I was stricken by the contrast between this beautiful classical white marble statue and the blue/black stripy background (Orpheus wooing the Mermaid by Emmanuel Hannaux 1855-1934; see how Orpheus got rid of the Mermaids here).
