“The ‘Badender Knabe’ (Bathing Boy) fountain is located in a niche in the passageway of the Old Town Hall, connecting the market square to the Naschmarkt. It was created in 1909 during the extensive renovation of the building complex. The bronze sculpture of a naked boy standing on a shell, squeezing a sponge over his head with both hands, is by the Leipzig sculptor Carl Seffner.” (Fountain in Leipzig, Wikipedia)
