The young brown skinned girl is standing sad at the fountain, where she has dropped her large jug and the broken pieces are laying on the ground, the main part of the jug beside the clock. There has been some wear and touch up to the finish on this statue, but it is overall very good. The well made bell strike movement has a fancy dial with the name of the retailer: Legay and Fils. The statue is affixed to a large slab of dark red marble with white veins. The title of the statue is cast into the base in inch high letters. Height 26 inches
