Una ninfa en la fuente (Nymph at a fountain)
"Una ninfa en la fuente" by Felipe Moratilla is a white marble sculpture depicting a classical mythological subject executed in the refined academic tradition. The work demonstrates masterful carving technique in its delicate modeling of the figure and the ornamental marble pedestal that serves as its integral base. The composition captures the romantic sensibility of the period through its representation of a nymph, a favorite theme in neoclassical and academic sculpture that celebrates both mythological subject matter and the sculptor's technical virtuosity.
