One of the artist’s ethereal paintings, Daughters of the Mist may have been inspired by The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. A mermaid’s quest is to marry a mortal in order to attain a soul.
"A mermaid has not an immortal soul, nor can she obtain one unless she wins the love of a human being. On the power of another hangs her eternal destiny. But the daughters of the air, although they do not possess an immortal soul, can, by their good deeds, procure one for themselves”
