A bronze figure of a nymph, with a dark brown patina, set on a naturalistic oval base. She is depicted wearing a loose fitting tunic fastened at her right shoulder, leaving her left shoulder bare, seating on her left side on a sandy bank, scooping water from a rushing river with scallop shell. This bronze statue is a version of a marble carved by the French sculptor Antoine Coysevox circa 1683 for the Bassin de Latone in the gardens at Versailles. Coysevox's marble was based on an antique marble from the second century BC, rediscovered during the Renaissance and recorded by 1638 in the Villa Borghese in Rome. Admired by artists and collectors during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it was reproduced in small bronzes and in Sèvres biscuit porcelain.
