The Grand Duchy of Saxony School of Arts and Crafts Weimar was a private educational institution founded and financed by Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar on 1 April 1908 on the initiative of the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde, which existed in Weimar until 30 September 1915. It is not to be confused with the former Grand Duchy of Saxony School of Art Weimar, which is adjacent to it. After the end of the First World War, her legacy was absorbed into the State Bauhaus in Weimar in 1919. The associated building, the Arts and Crafts School building, built in 1906, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 as a Bauhaus site.

The Bather – The Egg is a 1.4-ton egg-shaped sculpture with a height of 1.26 m and a diameter of 0.79 m, which depicts a girl's figure during bathing, in Carrara marble, from which the water trickles into a circular shallow and domed basin made of cobblestones. This is set up in the middle of the square of the university campus of the Bauhaus-Universität in Weimar at Marienstraße 13–15, in an inner courtyard not far from the Mensa am Park. This ornamental fountain was created in 1983 by Hubert Schiefelbein. The square itself is covered with paving stones that are arranged in a circle around the fountain, which further enhances the effect of the fountain. The egg itself is installed in the middle of a tube, which gives the impression that this sculpture is literally floating. In 2015, this sculpture was restored.
