Partially in ruins and in deserted country, the upper waters of the fountain spring. A cloth is held by two figures on the shaft, with the inscription: "FONTAINE / INVETE / et graues Par Legeay / arch. Et"; "J Legeay / sculp." is written in a medallion at the bottom. Bottom margin: "A Paris chés Huquier rue des Mathurins au coin de celle de Sorbonne." (cf. Guilmard).
