From a low three-quarter side view close to the ground, a single girl sits on a sun-warmed stone embankment at the top of a seawall, turned in profile so the camera catches her left cheek, the small single side bun pinned above her left ear and the short red locks that fall loose past her jaw. Her white short-sleeved collared shirt is buttoned to the throat with its ribbon tied smartly at the collar, sleeves ending mid-upper-arm, and the pleated summer skirt is rucked up where it meets the waistband of the tail; from the hip down there is no skirt hem and no legs, only a long red mermaid tail, deep crimson at the hips shading to a lacquer-red fin, its scales catching the low sun in neat overlapping rows. She has propped herself up on the stone with one palm flat on the warm rock and her weight tipped onto that hip, the other hand resting on the tail's broad flat surface just below her waist, fingertips tracing one row of scales. Her chin is dipped, her blue eyes cast down along the tail's curve with lowered lashes and a faint closed-lip smile, one brow lifted as if she has just noticed how far the thing reaches. The tail curls away from her and its translucent fin drapes over the embankment edge, casting a wet sheen on the stone beneath it. Behind her the sea lies flat and glittering, out of focus; the low golden light comes from the right and lays a long shadow of her upper body across the stone to the left, and where the fin overhangs the edge the shadow breaks and falls away. The palette holds to the red of her hair and tail against the white of the uniform and the bleached grey of the stone, with the sea a pale blue. Quiet, sunlit wonder.
