Artist, Czech, 1883 - 1961

The image shows several sculptures positioned around a circular pool. One sculpture is prominently featured in the foreground. The central sculpture is a stylized human figure with elongated proportions and a smooth, flowing form. It appears dark in color, possibly made of bronze or a similar material, giving it a reflective quality. The sculpture stands upright with arms slightly outstretched at the sides. In the background, there are additional sculptures with similar elongated and abstracted styles. They are silhouetted against a textured backdrop that suggests movement. The overall arrangement conveys a sense of timeless and ethereal beauty, with figures appearing both monumental and intimately connected to the surrounding space.
