Monumental Garden Fountain in Carrara marble and Statuary marble attributed to Rudolf Weyr, Vienna, late 19th century

Built on an angle with perfect symmetry and a veined Carrara marble architectural structure and decor, this beautiful fountain focuses on a central white Carrara Statuary marble figure of a young girl child. The half moon basin links the two curved walls, which are flanked with oblique scrolled pilasters each adorned with a small fish head fountain spout. The lower part of the fountain is subtly decorated with carved out panels, topped with a broad cornice that links it to the upper section, which is elaborately decorated with high and low relief carved features. Supported by flowing water plants, a shell emerges at the center and like a large vessel receives the water spouting from the mouth of the flower-crowned river-God above. This strong portrayal of a river-God obeys the code for male water divinities: thick rough features, with hair, moustache and beard flowing like a frozen water fall. The water then gently flows from this vessel in delicate waves through the chiseled edge of the shell. Notice the remarkable talent of the sculptor who adapted the decor to create the desired water effects. As it falls over the shell edge, the water creates a natural curtain, a delicate veil, which enhances the central figure, the masterpiece of this fountain. A young girl child sits, with naturally crossed palmed legs. Holding a garland of flowers in her left hand, the child lifts her right hand in a graceful and delicate gesture. The child’s head is crowned with foliage, her hair pulled back in a small bun.
