Artwork Story
Created in 1916, The Little Sea Maid captures Clarke at his most refined: flowing contours, intricate patterning, and a quiet emotional intensity that elevates the fairy-tale subject into a work of serious decorative art. The sea maiden appears framed by ornate ocean-inspired forms—shell-like curves, botanical flourishes, and rhythmic linework—hallmarks of Clarke’s distinctive visual language.
