Jeanneke Pis, Brussels

Jeanneke Pis meaning ‘Little Pissing Joan’ in Dutch, is a modern fountain sculpture in central Brussels, Belgium. It was commissioned by Denis-Adrien Debouvrie in 1985 and erected in 1987 as a counterpoint to the city’s famous Manneken Pis bronze statue. The 50-centimetre  bronze statue depicts a naked little girl with short pigtails, squatting and urinating on a blue-grey limestone base.

I saw Jeanneke Pis during my short trip to Brussels in July 2025.
