The bear and the amateur gardener, with a bear holding a rock over the head of his sleeping friend, after the fable by Jean de la Fontaine, carved stone capital, 1917-20, by Pere Jou, 1891-1964, on the facade of the Palau de Maricel, now the Maricel Museum, inaugurated 1970 and reopened in 2015, in Sitges, Catalonia, Spain. The man with the feet in the bucket resembles Pablo Picasso by Pau Gargallo in 1913. The complex was built 1910-18 by Miquel Utrillo for Charles Deering, converted from a hospital to a residence and gallery to house Deering's collection. Picture by Manuel Cohen
