Lady Fountain
1895 / J. W. Fiske / Fostoria
This fountain features four classically dressed women and an ornate central column that has a secondary flower-like basin at the top to catch water, which overflows into the main shallow pool below. One woman sit atop the entire fountain holding a vessel that spouts water and drips over her face. Three women are attached to the column and are shown doing various activities; the first appears to be pouring out a vase, the second is reaching towards her neck with her proper right hand and holding a bushel of flowers in her proper left, and the third women is offering grapes outwards with her proper right hand and clasping a horn of plenty to her side with her proper left hand.
A small plaque at the base of the column lists the foundry name of the sculptors who made the fountain; the makers are well known for making memorial fountains. The plaque reads: J. W. FISKE 41 PARK PLACE NEW YORK
