Dama del paraigua, Marble fountain sculpture in Barcelona Zoo, Spain

The sculpture presents a woman in period clothing holding an umbrella, positioned atop an ornamental fountain with two superimposed basins and a circular pond.

Joan Roig i Solé created this sculpture for the 1888 Universal Exhibition, where it stood in the central gallery of the Industry Palace in Parc de la Ciutadella.

The sculpture represents the Barcelona bourgeoisie of the late 19th century through the portrayal of a woman checking for rain with her extended hand.

Access to the sculpture requires purchasing an entrance ticket to Barcelona Zoo, which opens daily from 10:00 AM to 10:30 PM.

Each May 4th, traditional umbrella manufacturers place flower bouquets at the base of the sculpture to honor their patron saint.
