DescriptionPhoto of a large fountain in front center. The shape of the fountain base is octagonal with two round baths on the upper portion, which is separated by cherub-like figures in three separate layers. The bottom bath has 3 lounging cherub figures in black. The top of the fountain is a black sculpture of 2 human figures that are holding one another. One figure's face tilts upwards with a spout of water shooting out of his mouth. Beyond the fountain on both the right and left sides are two white robed statues of men, each with their arms held out. There is also a path that leads to a garden area filled with shrubs, and is lined in the back by a wall with a rectangular portal in the center with another fountain beyond the opening. Cypress trees line the sky beyond the wall.On View
