This sculpture is found in Ciutadella Park, in front of the Museu d'Art Modern. It represents a woman who has fallen over the water of the park's little lake. The piece is called El Desconsol (sadness), and the Catalan sculptor Josep Llimona created it in 1906. The woman is in a typically Modernist pose, with a softly curved line giving a slightly decadent effect. This is a beautiful sculpture, as well as an indication of what can be seen in the Museu d'Art Modern, just stone's throw away.
