Jeanneke Pis is a bronze fountain sculpture in the Impasse de la Fidélité, north of the Grand-Place in the City of Brussels, Belgium. Denis-Adrien Debouvrie commissioned it. The article does not name the sculptor, because the infobox lists Debouvrie as artist while the text says he commissioned a sculptor. It was conceived in 1985 and erected in 1987.
The figure stands 20 inches (50 centimeters) tall on a blue-grey limestone base. It shows a naked little girl with short pigtails, squatting and urinating.
Iron bars now protect the sculpture from vandalism. The article also says the figure was meant as a female counterpart to the much older Manneken Pis, which stands a short walk away in the same city.
