The Siren is a painting by John William Waterhouse. The painting depicts a siren sitting at the edge of a cliff, lyre in hand, staring down at a shipwrecked sailor floating in water, who in turn is staring up at her. The picture was painted in 1900 and is now part of a private collection.

    Great painting.

    Excellent expressions on both subjects, the siren looks like a predator and the sailor has this face of fearful realisation.
