Réva, Marble sculpture in Kampa Park, Prague, Czech Republic
Réva, also called Girl with Grapes, is a nearly life-size marble statue of a nude girl standing on a stone, holding a bunch of grapes to her chest with both hands. Karla Vobišová-Žáková carved it in 1960 from white Carrara marble; the rectangular pedestal is sandstone. It stands in Kampa Park on Kampa Island in Malá Strana, Prague 1.
The sculpture was created in 1960 by Karla Vobišová-Žáková, the first professional female sculptor in the Czech Republic. Four years later, in 1964, the work received the status of a cultural monument.
The statue's name, Réva, is Czech for "vine" or "grapevine", and it is also called Dívka s hrozny, "Girl with Grapes". The figure holds a bunch of grapes against her chest with both hands, standing on a stone atop a rectangular sandstone plinth. It is a typical work of Karla Vobišová-Žáková, whose output centred on figure and portrait sculpture.
The work stands in the freely accessible Kampa Park near U Sovových mlýnů street, so visitors can view it anytime. The park itself requires no entrance fee and is easy to reach.
The statue is registered as a separate cultural monument, not as part of the park's ensemble. Its author, Karla Vobišová-Žáková (1887–1961), was the first professional female sculptor in Czechoslovakia, and the piece was carved in 1960, the year before her death.
