Situated in the centre of a shallow, circular pool, in light wind, this copious fountain was essentially a constant waterfall having the effect of sending broken, concentric waves out from the central source.

In the painting, I have tried to convey this 'movement applied to depth' being helped by distribution of the opaque, bright sun and sky reflections which are mainly restricted to the left-distance of the picture.
