Lithograph of a siren rising from dark waves, with spiky flame-like strands around her body, a curled fish tail at right, and birds in a gray sky.

Siren Coming out of the Waves, Dressed in Flames, plate 4 of 8 from "Les Origines"

A woman with a fish-like tail rises from dark, rippling water, her torso turned to the left while spiky, flame-like strands radiate from her body. A curled, scaly tail with fins sweeps across the lower right, beneath a cloudy sky with small birds in soft gray tones.

Español: Sirena saliendo de las olas, vestida de llamas, Odilon Redon

Una mujer con cola de pez emerge de aguas oscuras y ondulantes, con el torso girado hacia la izquierda mientras de su cuerpo irradian tiras puntiagudas, parecidas a llamas. Una cola curva y escamosa con aletas recorre la parte inferior derecha, bajo un cielo nublado con pequeños pájaros en tonos grises suaves.

Português: Sereia saindo das ondas, vestida de chamas, Odilon Redon

Uma mulher com cauda de peixe surge de águas escuras e ondulantes, com o tronco voltado para a esquerda enquanto tiras pontiagudas, semelhantes a chamas, irradiam de seu corpo. Uma cauda curva e escamosa, com nadadeiras, percorre a parte inferior direita, sob um céu nublado com pequenos pássaros em tons suaves de cinza.
