Anton Tchekhov et la dame au petit chien, Bronze sculpture in Yalta, Ukraine.

Anton Chekhov and the Lady with the Dog is a bronze sculptural group on Yalta's Lenin Embankment, near the Jubilee concert hall. It shows the writer Anton Chekhov beside the female character of his story The Lady with the Dog, with her small dog. The work was made by the brothers Gennady and Fyodor Parshin of the Moscow art production association Vel, after a design by architect Yuri Ivanchenko.

The bronze group was unveiled in 2004 on Yalta's Lenin Embankment, near the Jubilee Concert Hall, for the centenary of Chekhov's death. It was commissioned by the founders of the international television forum "Together" and made by the Parshin brothers over three years after a design by architect Yuri Ivanchenko. Chekhov lived in Yalta from 1898 until his death and wrote "The Lady with the Dog" there.

The sculpture shows two figures from Chekhov's story, conveying the sense of an encounter that will change both characters' lives. You can read the tension between them in their postures as you walk around the monument.

The sculpture stands in the middle of Lenin Embankment, Yalta's main seafront promenade, next to the Jubilee concert hall. It is reached on foot along the pedestrian quay, so it fits naturally into a walk beside the Black Sea. The bronze group is outdoors and can be viewed at any time of day.

The bronze group was made by the Moscow brothers Gennady and Fyodor Parshin of the art production association "Vel", working to a design by architect Yuri Ivanchenko; the commission came from the founders of the international television forum "Together".
