La pescadera

La pescadera, Bronze sculpture in Plaza del Pescado, Oviedo, Spain

La pescadera is a bronze sculpture of a fishmonger woman, cast in lost-wax bronze from a smaller work by Sebastián Miranda. It stands in Plaza Trascorrales in Oviedo, not Plaza del Pescado, and was unveiled in 2005.

The bronze was inaugurated in 2005 as a lost-wax cast of a smaller work by Sebastián Miranda, one of ten pieces the Oviedo city council bought from the sculptor. The plaster copy was made after Miranda's death. It honours Saturnina Requejo, "la Cachucha", a woman from Cimadevilla who also appears in his Retablo del Mar in Gijón.

The figure is Saturnina Requejo, known as "la Cachucha", a woman from the Cimadevilla neighbourhood of Gijón. Sebastián Miranda also placed her in his "Retablo del Mar", now in the Casa Natal de Jovellanos museum in Gijón. The piece is also called "Lola" or "Mujer pescadora".

The bronze stands in Plaza Trascorrales itself, in Oviedo's old quarter, a short walk from the cathedral and the Fontán market square. The square is a public space reached on foot through narrow pedestrian streets; the sculpture has no barrier or enclosure around it.
