The Oceanus Fountain at the Rockfeller Estate in New York
This fountain depicts Oceanus, the Titan god of the great world-encompassing river Okeanos. He stands with the three great rivers, Nile, Eridanus and Styx (who is not visible from this angle). He is also depicted at the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy.
According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Oceanus fathered every river on Earth, every fountain and every lake.

Ah well, they did describe her as “striking” once, which to me can also be known as beautiful. c:
