| Description |
English: The upright "siren" in the picture, though appearing female, is that described in the text as "homo marinus (sea-man)" captured in Brazil by merchants of the West India Company, and dissected at Leiden by Petrus Pavius (Pieter Pauw), with Joannes de Laet also present: its "head and the breast even as far as the navil(sic.) was of an humane shape, but.. without the sign of a tail". Bartholin came into possession of the skeletal hand and rib (figures right) through his friend, de Laet.[1][2][3]
