La Aguadora

La Aguadora, also known as Moza del cántaro, is an urban sculpture located on a fountain in Plaza de Gabriel Miró, Alicante, Spain. Created by Vicente Bañuls, a local sculptor from Alicante, it was completed in 1918. Vicente Bañuls was inspired by a 17-year-old girl named Susana Llaneras Rico, and the sculpture was placed in its current location to replace a water collector. The sculpture features a young woman on a pedestal (Afrodita), who opposes the desires of Pan, who is pouring water. This references Afrodita of Delos, with Pan and Eros. Two triton children, heralds of Poseidon, provide the water. A third triton holds between his legs a conch-horn and a swan, symbols of Afrodita. Since September 24, 2018, Susana Llaneras has a street named after her in the center of Alicante. The sculpture is titled Moza del cántaro (Maza of the pitcher).
