Three Dancing Maidens

Three Dancing Maidens (German: Drei tanzende Mädchen) is a nymph fountain (Nymphenbrunnen) sculpture by Walter Schott. There are three full-size versions or castings of the bronze sculpture: One known as the Untermyer Fountain in Central Park, New York, a second one in Antwerp’s Den Brandt Park, and the third one in the courtyard of the Burg Schlitz castle, a grand hotel in the Mecklenburg region of northern Germany. Identification of the original sculpture created for Rudolf Mosse in 1909, and later looted by the Nazi Party is the subject of research, which appears to be leading to the version in the Burg Schlitz castle. Three-quarters scale castings, likely to be examples of the sculptor's early drafts, can be found in Germany, Austria, and Northern California.
