Albin Brag's 1912 granite boy fountain

A granite figure of a boy rests in a half-seated position against a large stone. Located in a small park in the middle of Manhemsgatan, the Fontändamm was erected in 1912 as decoration for the neighborhood.

Byggnads AB Manhem initiated the project while developing the Aspudden district in southern Stockholm. The company engaged architect Albin Brag to oversee both the residential architecture and this specific artwork. Brag designed many of the local houses, which feature decorated facades, bay windows, and steeply pitched roofs in a simple Jugendstil.

The sculpture is located in the small park near the Lövsmygen block. It sits upon a pedestal in a fountain basin. The fountain and the surrounding buildings are designed in a simple Jugendstil, reflecting the unified character of the area established by Manhem.
