Model of the girl in the so-called “children’s fountain” (1982)

 

The execution can be seen in the Saarland town of St. Ingbert (Kaiserstr. / corner Ludwigstr.) and is one of the most famous works of art in the public space of the town.

In the group of figures, the girl figure sticks out her tongue at a boy sitting on the pedestal.

Otto Zewe sculpted the model as an original life-size, over a metal framework. Total height: 143 cm, standing freely on a stone plate.

The sculpture was kept in the sculptor’s studio. This original work of the sculptor was the basis of the bronze form and shows corresponding traces of processing.
