<i>Three Dancing Maidens</i> Sculpture by Walter Schott

Three Dancing Maidens is a nymph fountain (Nymphenbrunnen) sculpture by Walter Schott. There are three full-size versions or castings of the bronze sculpture. One is known as the Untermyer Fountain in Central Park in New York City, the second one is in Antwerp’s Den Brandt Park, and the third one is in the courtyard of the Burg Schlitz Hotel, 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-quarter-scale castings, likely to be examples of the sculptor's early drafts, can be found in Germany, Austria, and Northern California.
