Frightened Nymph (Nymphe Effraye)

Paul Herrmann

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork titled Frightened Nymph by Paul Herrmann features a figure in a natural setting. The image depicts a woman with long hair standing in water. She is positioned centrally in the composition, with her body partially submerged in the water. The woman's facial expression appears to be one of fear or distress. The background of the image includes foliage and what seems to be a tree or large plant on the left side. The colors used are predominantly shades of green, blue, and pink, which create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the scene. The artwork has a textured appearance, suggesting it may be a print or etching. A thick white border surrounds the artwork.
