Dancing Sprites
Bronze fountain group of three nude children holding hands and dancing in a ring, a ribbon of cloth draped between them, by the French sculptor Henri-Léon Gréber, cast circa 1900 by the Barbedienne foundry in Paris. It stands on a round concrete base in the middle of a fountain basin on the California Street side of Huntington Park, at the top of Nob Hill, San Francisco. Donated to the city by Mrs. James Flood and dedicated in 1942; owned by the San Francisco Arts Commission. Sources: Smithsonian Art Inventories Catalog IAS CA001778; Wikipedia, Henri-Léon Gréber.
