Description

Essentials about Jeanneke Pis in brief

Jeanneke Pis is the expression of equality in Brussels turned into form. The fountain figure, which depicts a girl urinating while squatting, is a deliberately provocative counterpoint to the world-famous male statue of Manneken Pis, which also urinates. Female equality was a mere 400 years in coming. While Manneken Pis has been around since 1619, Jeanneke Pis was not created until 1985 by sculptor Denis-Adrien Debouvrie. The bronze statue, about 50 centimeters high, is located in a small barred niche in the Impasse de la Fidelité, a small dead-end street near Rue des Bouchers.
