Taken at the Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site’s sunken reflecting pool in the Perennial Garden, this white Italian marble statue is known as “Barefoot Kate”. The statue is of a semi-nude nymph testing the waters of the pool with her toe. It was carved by sculptor Antonia Galli in the mid-19th century and installed within the garden sometime between 1904 and 1910.
