Reader in an Armchair, Bronze sculpture at Franz Kafka Square, Prague, Czech Republic
The sculpture portrays a person sitting in a large chair while reading, representing a contemplative moment through its anonymous figure design.
Czech artist Jaroslav Rona created this bronze statue in response to the increasing influence of digital media on traditional reading practices.
The sculpture stands as a testament to the enduring importance of physical books and reading in contemporary urban environments.
Located near Old Town Square at the start of Kaprova Street, visitors can reach the sculpture by walking through central Prague.
The chair structure forms a protective barrier around the reading figure, symbolizing isolation from external distractions during literary engagement.
