In the main basin we see three mermaids up to their knees in water, holding hands. The centerpiece is a column that the scantily dressed female figures are dancing around. A look towards the tip of the fountain reveals another mermaid, her attention focused on the fish she cradles in her right hand. The gentleness of the composition creates a strikingly sensual impression. (c) David Payer Do you like seeing Vienna laid bare?
