Nude young woman, Lorelei, strategically covered by her long dark hair, standing on a rock, holding a lyre
• Nude woman playing lyre by Howard Pyle, circa 1880 and 1910. Nude young woman, strategically covered by her long dark hair, standing on a rock, holding a lyre. Two skulls lie on the rocks behind her. Below her, a drowning man in the waves clutches at her feet. The young woman is probably the Lorelei, a German siren who sang songs of unbearable sweetness and lured sailors to their deaths on the rocks of the Rhine River.
