This sculpture draws strong resemblances to the 'Pan and the Nymphs' Fountain, also in lead, which is currently located in East 47th Street, Kansas City, U.S.A.,originally located at Moreton Paddox, Kineton, Warwickshire, England. The concept and design for the 'Pan and the Nymphs' Fountain by Walter Gilbert, was modelled by Louis Weingartner. The sculpture in this lot is undoubtedly the same collaboration of workmanship.
