Description "According to German legend, there was once a beautiful young maiden, named Lorelei, who threw herself headlong into the river in despair over a faithless lover. Upon her death she was transformed into a siren and could from that time on be heard singing on a rock along the Rhine River, near St. Goar. Her hypnotic music lured sailors to their death. The legend is based on an echoing rock with that name near Sankt Goarshausen, Germany."

This is so pretty! I love the style and how you incorporated her name into the border in the form of an old scroll. Amazing!

She is ethereal and graceful. The perfect illustration for a fairy tale.
