The author of the sculpture Břetislav Benda graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague and was a student of J. V. Myslbek and Jan Štursa. During his life, he created an extensive work of more than a hundred sculptures in life size and even bigger, and the main theme that Benda dealt with was the female figure, especially in the form of an act. Benda himself adds: “I don't know a motif more beautiful than a woman in all her variations, an inexhaustible subject for a sculptor. With my sculptures I want to express the infinite beauty of the human body, but also other feelings. "The girl entering the water was made of bronze and Carrara marble in several sizes in the 1930s. In 1969, it was realized in life size. The offered statue from 1930 was cast in the renowned foundry workshop of K. Barták (1st casting). The statue comes from the heirs of the author and the work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by them.
