The sculpture "Drengen og Svanen" (The Boy and the Swan) on Jessens Mole in Svendborg is a charming work of art with a rich history. Originally created by Herman Ernst Freund in the early 19th century, a copy of the original, located in Kongens Have in Copenhagen, now stands in Svendborg. The depiction depicts a boy playfully interacting with a swan, a scene that exudes tranquility and childlike curiosity. The work of art also functions as a fountain, its gently rippling water adding to the atmosphere on the harbor promenade. Despite vandalism, which once saw the sculpture thrown into the water, it has been restored and now shines once again in its original location.
