Description |
English: In a cave, three men engaged in intercourse with mermaids, one couple standing at centre, the mermaid holding up a mirror in her left hand for the man to gaze at his reflection; another man standing by in readiness at right; a rowing boat tipped up on the rocks behind at centre, a man bending down in front of it to examine a conch; a turbaned man standing in the entrance of the cave, threatening with an oar an angry triton who waves his fists from the sea at left.

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
