Carlos Drummond de Andrade statue at Copacabana
Carlos Drummond de Andrade statue at Copacabana, Bronze sculpture at Copacabana Beach, Brazil
The life-sized bronze statue depicts the poet sitting on a bench with crossed legs, facing the sidewalk with his back to the ocean.
The monument was unveiled in October 2002 to commemorate the 100th birth anniversary of Brazilian poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade.
The sculpture represents one of Brazil's most influential poets, based on a photograph by Rogério Reis that captured his daily routine at Copacabana.
Located on Avenida Atlântica near Post 6, the statue includes a bench where visitors can sit next to the poet's figure.
The statue's glasses require frequent replacement due to vandalism, with at least eleven pairs replaced since its installation.
