This nude figure is decorating a fountain in Paseo de Cristina in Sevilla. The fountain is dedicated to the Generacion del 27, an influential group of poets that arose in Spanish literary circles between 1923 and 1927.
The fountain is an hommage from the City of Sevilla to all the poets of the Generacion del 27.
The fountain, composed by a basin with a cascade representing a river and some water jets, is decorated with a statue of a nude woman laying down (the inspirational muse of poetry).
