Darlington Memorial Fountain, Bronze sculpture fountain in Judiciary Square, United States.
The Darlington Memorial Fountain presents a gilded bronze nymph standing next to a fawn on a marble pedestal with water flowing from side spouts.
Joseph Darlington, a legal scholar who practiced law in Washington D.C., received this fountain as a memorial after his death in 1920.
German-American sculptor C. Paul Jennewein created this fountain in 1922, incorporating classical design elements into the urban landscape of Washington D.C.
The fountain stands at the intersection of 5th Street, D Street, and Indiana Avenue NW, surrounded by three major government buildings.
The initial unveiling of this fountain generated public discussions due to the nude presentation of the nymph figure in the sculpture.
