Milkmaid fountain, Tsarskoe Selo
Milkmaid fountain, Tsarskoe Selo, Bronze fountain statue in Catherine Park, Pushkin, Russia.
The fountain displays a young woman in a summer dress sitting on a boulder, watching water flow from a broken jug at her feet.
Engineer Agustín de Betancourt and sculptor Pavel Sokolov created this fountain between 1816 and 1828 during Emperor Alexander I's landscaping project.
The statue represents a character from Jean de La Fontaine's fable 'The Milkmaid', depicting themes of rural life in early 19th-century Russia.
The original bronze statue remains in the Tsarskoe Selo museum, while visitors can view a 1990 replica in Catherine Park's landscape section.
The fountain stands as the only sculpture specifically designed for Catherine Park, surviving World War II through underground preservation.
