This terracotta gives an impression of the first phase of Quellinus’ design process. It is a loosely modelled sketch for the never realized decoration of a water pump in the inner courtyard of the Town Hall. The subject is Pero offering her aged father, Cimon, her breast to keep him alive in prison – an appropriate subject for a pump near the municipal lockup.
