This expressionist sculpture by Karel Dvořák, who studied figurative art under Drahoňovský, Myslbek and Štursa, shows signs especially dating from his later work. The two interlinking figures are likely personifications of the Moldau (Vltava) and Elbe rivers.
Publ.: Jaromír Pečírka: Karel Dvořák, Edice Prameny, Prague 1948, fig. 27 and 1.
