As I was searching I came across information that the fountain had been reworked, however, the pictures weren't quite clear enough to post. The date is unknown as well.

Saltillo... San Antonio... it could look alike on an old photograph...
OP didn't show us the writings...

Default Fountain.

I didn't see the rest of the posts. I was thinking the two ladies at the McNay were the statues from a disassembled fountain. So the fountain is still intact in Mexico? That even better. Is that far from San Antonio?

The fountain was dismantled in 1977 while the plaza was undergoing renovation...
