Focus on this artwork and explain the Description.
This is a watering hole fountain built in marble and attached to a gable between pilasters that give it a monumental appearance.
In the lower part, above the basin, it has an imaginary fish-shaped figurehead surrounded by edges and borders, from the mouth of which the only spout of the fountain pours. Above this figurehead there is a marble plaque with an inscription relating to the reform of paths that gave rise to the current Paseo de Reding, as well as the date of completion of the work. Between the basin and the figurehead there is an inscription relating to the construction of the Paseo de Reding itself and the restoration of the fountain in times of Theodor von Reding.
At the top, on the marble plaque, there are two alabaster coats of arms with the city's and Marquis of Villafiel's coats of arms, Fernando Carrillo and Manuel. The set is completed with a moulded basin whose centre is decorated with a hanging festoon.
