Sculptor by Jan Štursa in Prague

Prague has a lot of cool statues. This one is on the river near The Chemistry Gallery. There are two of them, one on each side of the road.

It was made by Jan Štursa, a Czech sculptor, one of founders of modern Czech sculpture. Whose nephew Jiri Štursa was the architect of Stalin's Monument at the site that the metronome now stands. Which I find to be a fascinating story.
