Little Princess Statue, Bronze sculpture on Danube Promenade, Budapest, Hungary.
The Little Princess Statue stands on the railing of the Danube Promenade and depicts a child dressed in a gown with a crown made of newspaper. The bronze artwork sits there inviting passersby to pause for a moment of observation.
Artist László Marton created this sculpture in 1972 after observing his daughter playing dress-up at the Tabán playground. The work has since become a recognizable feature of Budapest's riverbank.
The figure depicts a child in costume and invites visitors to step into a world of imagination. Many people pause to admire the details of the outfit and the crown made from newspaper.
The artwork sits near Vigadó Square between two major bridges that are easy to spot. Visitors should take care as it perches on a railing edge near river traffic.
The figure's knees are polished to a shine because thousands of visitors have touched them for good fortune. This wear-and-patina has developed naturally over the years and is now a defining characteristic.
