Sitting statue of Chekhov in Yalta, Bronze and diorite monument in Yalta, Russia.

The statue portrays Anton Chekhov in a seated position, with his legs crossed on a rock, holding a notebook in his left hand.

The monument was inaugurated on July 15, 1953, with both Maria Chekhova and Olga Knipper attending the ceremony to honor the writer's memory.

The sculpture stands as a memorial to Chekhov's extensive literary work created during his residence in Yalta, including Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard.

Located in Gagarin Park near the oldest mineral water fountain in Yalta, the statue attracts numerous visitors throughout the year.

The sculptor Georgy Motovilov created the bronze figure while architect Leonid Polyakov designed the diorite base that bears Chekhov's name.
