Thomas, which serves as a fountain in the Royal dairy, just completed at Frogmore...The figure is light and symmetrical in form, the attitude being eminently graceful. The nymph stands on a lotus plant, and has aquatic leaves bound round her head in her hands she carries a vase, from which flows a stream of sparkling water.
