Stake attention in this memory
A bronze sculpture of a nude, reclining female figure, identified as "La Nymphe" by Rik Poot, is depicted within an empty, discolored concrete fountain basin. The sculpture is positioned on a rectangular stone base, lying on its stomach with its head turned to the right and left arm extended forward. This installation is located on Boulevard de Berlaimont / Rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères in Brussels, Belgium, situated directly in front of the National Bank of Belgium building. The building behind the sculpture features a facade composed of an upper section of grey, rectangular stone panels arranged in a horizontal grid pattern. Below this, a continuous stretch of dark, reflective glass windows forms the ground level. A vertical concrete support beam separates sections of these windows, displaying a red and white "WARNING" sticker. Reflections in the window panes show artificial light sources and obscured urban structures, indicative of a nighttime or late evening setting. The fountain basin's floor is stained a yellowish-brown, lacking water, and contains minor scattered debris. Shadows from the sculpture are cast prominently to its right, consistent with illumination from the left.
