Statue of Hygieia in Karlovy Vary, Sadová kolonáda, Sandstone statue in Dvořákovy sady park, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

The statue of Hygieia is a free-standing sandstone figure 137 cm tall on a 158 cm profiled plinth, placed at the entrance of the Sadová kolonáda near the Sadový pramen in Karlovy Vary. It shows a young girl with a snake, sign of healing powers, and faces the rondel with the Hadí pramen. The work is signed "KUCHAŘ" on the left and "VOJÍŘOVÁ" on the right.

The sandstone statue was created in 1955 by porcelain designer Ludmila Vojířová (1919–2014) and sculptor and medallist Antonín Kuchař (1919–1997), who executed the design in stone. It stands at the entrance to the Sadová kolonáda near the Sadový pramen, facing the Snake Spring in the opposite rondel. In 2021 the plinth was modified and fitted with a supply from the Sadový pramen ending in a metal spout shaped like two lizards.
