Although the artist's name is not very well known, his work ranks him among the most important Czech sculptors of the second half of the 20th century. In 1952-58 he studied in Professor Bedřich Stefan's studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. After graduating he moved to Liberec, where he worked until 1970 and created the foundation stone for Ještěd tower. In 1965 he participated in the Biennale des Jeunes de Paris, where he received an award. In 1968 he was included in a contemporary Czechoslovak sculpture show at Musée Rodin in Paris. Due to his political opinions, after 1968 it was made impossible for him to exhibit or even participate in international sculpture symposia to which he was repeatedly invited. Typical materials for Seifert are stone and wood, and metal in exceptional cases. This sculpture is white marble. Exhibited at the Jiří Seifert SOCHY exhibition, Czech Museum of Fine Arts, House of the Black Madonna, 2001; published in the exhibition catalogue. The work is from the artist's family estate.
