Soutok Labe s Orlicí, Monumental group of sculptures at Jiráskovy Sady, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic.

Soutok Labe s Orlicí is a monumental sculpture group at Jiráskovy Sady depicting two human figures representing the Elbe and Orlice rivers. The work stands at the actual point where these two waterways merge in Eastern Bohemia.

Sculptor Josef Škoda began work on the group in 1926 after a course in Otto Gutfreund's studio. In May 1934 the Kruh přátel umění association recommended its placement in Jiráskovy sady, and the figures were cast by Karel Barták's works in Prague-Hrdlořezy. Installed between the rosarium and the confluence in August 1934, the nude figures on a low plinth drew sharp criticism after the model had passed without objection in the city museum.

The seated young man is the Elbe and the girl falling asleep in his lap is the Orlice; the sculptor gave the figures slender bodies to suggest the long courses of both rivers to Hradec Králové. The work is also called Sousoší Milenci (The Lovers). When it was placed on a low plinth in the grass in 1934, critics called the nude figures pornography and unsuitable for children.

The sculpture stands on a low oval base in the grass of Jiráskovy Sady, in the space between the rose garden and the actual confluence of the Elbe and Orlice. Because it sits at ground level rather than on a tall plinth, it is seen close up and from all sides on foot; the riverside paths of the park connect the two points.

When the nude figures were installed in August 1934, critics called them pornography and unsuitable for children, despite the model having drawn no objections at the Hradec Králové museum. The sculptor, Josef Škoda, had begun the work in 1926 after studying under Otto Gutfreund.
