The iconic statue was created during the end of First World War, it stands on a pedestal made of Slivenec marble. The final form of the statue was undergoing the process of creation for several years. It was very difficult to find the persuasiveness of the diagonal fall of the body, which was anchored to the ground only with the fingertips. The balance of the composition was then achieved by a helical bend of the body, which was projected into the movements of the arms and the bowed head. Jan Štursa initially attended the sculpture and stonemasonry school in Hořice, but in 1899 enrolled at the Academy of Art in Prague. His early work is marked by elements of Art Nouveau symbolism.
