Bust of Jan Werich

Bust of Jan Werich, Bronze portrait sculpture in Werichova vila, Malá Strana, Czech Republic.

The bronze bust of Jan Werich, a smiling likeness by painter and sculptor Nikos Armutidis, stands on the outer side of the low wall by the entrance to Werichova vila on U Sovových mlýnů street on Kampa Island in Malá Strana, Prague. A small metal plate beneath it reads "Jan Werich".

Sculptor Nikos Armutidis made the bust without a fee in 1992, modelling it in clay and casting a plaster model for bronze. A group of sculptors placed it unofficially at the villa wall on 6 February 1993, Werich's birthday. The original disappeared in 2006; a first copy was installed in March 2007, stolen in September 2012 and lost by police. Armutidis made a third copy, reinstalled on 30 March 2017.

The bust stands on the outer wall by the entrance gate of Werichova vila at U Sovových mlýnů on Kampa, the house where Jan Werich lived from 1945 until his death in 1980. A small metal plaque beneath the bronze reads "Jan Werich". The smiling likeness was modelled by painter and sculptor Nikos Armutidis, born 1953.

The bust stands on the outer side of the low wall by the entrance gate of Werichova vila on U Sovových mlýnů street on Kampa island, not inside a garden. It is freely accessible all year round, at any hour, and the small metal plaque reading "Jan Werich" is fixed beneath it.

Sculptor Nikos Armutidis made the bust in 1992 without a fee, modelling it in clay and casting a plaster model for the bronze. A group of sculptors placed it by the villa wall without the city's consent on 6 February 1993, Werich's birthday. The original later vanished, a first copy was stolen in 2012, and Armutidis made a third copy, reinstalled on 30 March 2017.
