Carl Jacobsen presented his bronze and granite statue representing the little mermaid in 1913, in Copenhagen. The sculpture was inspired by the ballerina Ellen Price who danced in the ballet “The little mermaid” at the Royal Danish theatre in Copenhagen. The tale of The little mermaid was written by Hans Christian Andersen. Source : visitcopenhagen
