Description:

Two mermaids can be seen floating along a rocky shore, one of them addressing Hagen, who stands on a slope and holds onto a branch to keep his balance.

The caption reads in the original German:

Ich will dich warnen, Hagen,
[…]
Kommst du zu den Heunen,
So bist du arg sehr betrogen.

The caption in English was taken from Daniel Bussier Shumway’s translation of The Nibelungenlied published in Boston & New York by the Houghton Mifflin Company, 1909.
