## Commentary

The most famous work of the artist is the Danube Well, originally designed for the Mehlmarkt in Vienna. The central figure is the seated Providence surrounded by putti. On the corners of the original basin four figures personified the four most important tributaries of the Danube: the Traun, the Enns, the March, and the Ybbs.
