Sedící dívka, White marble sculpture in Štvanice Park, Prague, Czech Republic.
Sedící dívka is a marble sculpture depicting a seated woman and sits in Štvanice Park near Hlávkova Bridge. The figure rests on a designed pedestal that anchors the work within the landscape of the park.
The work was created in 1965 through collaboration between sculptor Jaroslav Horejc, artist M. Poličenský, and architect Jaroslav Ducháček. This partnership merged sculptural and architectural expertise in a single vision.
The sculpture stands as part of Prague's public art legacy where passersby encounter it daily as they move through the park. It invites quiet observation and reflection in a place designed for leisure and walking.
The sculpture sits in an easily accessible part of the park where visitors can approach it from multiple sides without difficulty. Walking through the green space around it works naturally as part of exploring the broader park area.
The sculpture emerged from a partnership of three different creative disciplines - sculpting, painting, and architecture - coming together in one work. Such collaborative efforts across multiple artistic fields were uncommon in this period.
