==Description==
This cast bronze sculpture group measures 56 1/4" x 24" x 20",〔 and it is patinated a smooth dark brown. The group features a classicizing female figure (the nymph) and a fawn (young deer, rather than the classical faun usually paired with nymphs).
The nymph, coiffed with a vine and nude except for a thin band of cloth draped just below her hips, stands on her proper left leg and rests her folded right leg on a rock formation that reaches nearly as high as her hips. She leans far to her right, turning her torso just slightly downward. Her left arm crosses her body to stabilize and support a large urn resting horizontally on the rock, and her right elbow rests on the urn as she lightly supports her chin with her right hand. She peers downward at a small fawn standing below her in frontal alignment with the viewer. Its head and neck crane upward toward the urn, from which a small fountain of water trickles.
The figures and rock formation are closely positioned on a small rectangular bronze base, and the sculpture itself sits on a limestone block. It is positioned at the edge of a small pond into which the urn's water flows.
