Orpheus' well, Fountain and artwork in Hötorget, Stockholm, Sweden.

Orpheus' Well is a bronze fountain sculpture by Carl Milles, cast by Herman Bergman Konstgjuteri and unveiled on 24 July 1936 in front of the Konserthuset on Hötorget. Orpheus stands at the centre with a lyre, surrounded by eight floating male and female figures, one of which has Beethoven's facial features.

Carl Milles won the 1925 competition for a sculpture at Ivar Tengbom's new Konserthus with a proposal called "Musiken", but Stockholm's city council took nine years to decide. The commission was approved in 1935 by a single vote, cast by mistake. Milles then reworked the composition, adding eight floating male and female figures around Orpheus; the work was cast by Herman Bergman Konstgjuteri and unveiled without ceremony on 24 July 1936.

Orpheus, the most famous singer of Greek myth, stands for the art of music, and the eight floating male and female figures around him replace the animals of the myth. The despairing man raising his hands to the sky carries Beethoven's features, a nod to the suffering genius Milles admired. When the nine figures were likened to a sculptural counterpart of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Milles was delighted.

The fountain stands in the open center of Hötorget and can be approached from any side of the square. Because the square hosts a busy outdoor market on most days, visiting in the morning tends to offer a quieter look at the sculpture.

The eight floating figures around Orpheus were added only after 1935, when Milles abandoned his winning 1925 competition proposal. The male figure raising his hands to the sky carries Beethoven's facial features, a deliberate reference to the suffering artist-genius Milles identified with. A fountain in Rottneros Park, Värmland, reuses four of the female figures.
