The present marble nymph, possibly representing Susanna or Bathsheba, is a fine example of the 19th century 'genre' tradition in sculpture. The sculptor has moved away from the idealised and Classical forms towards a greater sense of realism, the maiden is caught in an interesting pose as she stretches her foot to test the water, and is given refreshingly realistic features. This nymph by her forest pool, recalls the work of some of the forward-thinking Belgian sculptors, such as Henri Pickery and Paul De Vigne, and stands as an enchantingly intimate vision, enlivened by the contrast of the nude flesh with the detailing of her hair, drapery and the forest ground.
