The sculpture Susanna or Flicka med snäcka (girl with shell) were bathed created by the artist, Susanna i and originally stood in a private garden. In 1945 she was then purchased by Charles Felix Lindberg Donationsfond and on Guldhedstorget placed before Susan came in 1948 in the Lundby Kvilletorget the Gothenburg district.
The sculpture represents Susan is the most important scene of the work "Joakim uti Babylon" by CM Bellman : The beautiful wife of Joakim is surprised by two older men in the bathroom. Since they both reject, however, claim that they had surprised Susan with a lover. Susan is therefore sentenced to death for adultery, but at the last moment saved.
One does not know when Carl Milles (1875 - 1955) created the girl with the shell, but the work in bronze, marble and concrete part of the series of his fountain creations, the artist famous made. Carl Milles began his artistic career in 1897 when he received a grant of 200 crowns from the Svenska Slöjdföreningen, enabling it to Paris to learn woodcarving. Soon Milles moved but, under the influence of sculptures by Auguste Rodin, a sculpture in bronze.
