Ofrenda floral a Sarmiento, Memorial relief in Palermo, Argentina.

The Ofrenda floral a Sarmiento is a marble relief located in a park in Palermo, depicting a seated figure of Sarmiento being presented with flowers by children. The sculpture forms a focal point at the terminus of a major pathway through the green space.

Émile Edmond Peynot carved the marble relief in 1915. The Comisión Pro Mausoleo a Sarmiento bought it for a planned mausoleum in Parque Chacabuco, then donated it, and it was inaugurated in El Rosedal on 9 September 1938. After tar bombs, graffiti and an explosion that blew out the back of Sarmiento's head, it was removed in 1987 for restoration by Blas S. Gurrieri, who had the head recarved in marble by Noé Da Prato; the 18-tonne work returned in 1997.

The memorial shows Sarmiento as a figure of public respect, honored by children offering flowers. This depiction reflects how his contributions to education remain valued in Argentine society today.

The sculpture is positioned at the end of a main pathway and is protected by metal railings to prevent damage. Visitors can find it easily accessible while walking through the park.

The marble work weighed roughly 18 tons when erected and later required a complete restoration in which a sculptor rebuilt the figure's head. This extensive conservation work demonstrates the effort invested in preserving the memorial.
