[edit] Rusalka Drawing

Can anyone provide a picture of the Bilibin artwork? I searched far and wide, and could not find any reference.

Same here. I doubt there even is a picture of a Rusalka by Bilibin. I'm going to look a bit further and delete the reference if I can't fin anything. 82.95.254.30 (talk) 20:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Nothing. I'm deleting that line, it's being repeated all over the internet without anybody providing a reference to this 'famous' image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.95.254.30 (talk) 13:26, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

I think I may know the Bilibin artwork in question: It's a depiction of a rusalka with the head and breasts of a woman but the lower body of a bird -- in other words, resembling the Greek harpies rather than a mermaid. Throbert McGee (talk) 10:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
