Jeanneke Pis


Jeanneke Pis is a modern fountain sculpture in the centre of Brussels, which was intended to form a counterpoint to the city's famous Manneken Pis. It was commissioned by Denis-Adrien Debouvrie in 1985 and erected in 1987. The bronze statue depicts a little girl with her hair in short pigtails, squatting and urinating on a blue-grey limestone base.
Jeanneke Pis is located south of the Grand Place, on the east side of Impasse de la Fidélité/Getrouwheidsgang, a narrow cul-de-sac some long leading northwards off the restaurant-packed Rue des Bouchers/Beenhouwersstraat. The sculpture is now protected from vandalism by iron bars.
