Statue du Petit Vigneron (Statue of the Little Winemaker), Colmar

The statue of the Little Winemaker (Statue du Petit Vigneron), sometimes called the Statue of the Little Winemaker or the Little Alsacien Winemaker, is one of the early statues crafted by Auguste Bartholdi. The fountain is located on the southwestern corner of the Covered Market (Marche Couvert).

The statue shows a bronze figure of a boy holding a vessel above his head. He sits with one leg draped over the other while a bronze dog waits at his feet. Beneath the statue is a pedestal with a single spout and a cracked, circular fountain.

The original statue, built in 1869, can be found inside the Bartholdi Museum in Colmar. The sculpture on display atop the fountain is one of two copies made from the original. A second copy became a gift to Colmar's American sister city, Princeton, New Jersey.
