The statue was cast in 1373 by brothers Martin and Jiří of Kluže, as recorded in the accounts of Prague Castle. Whether they are also the authors of the original is still a subject of debate among art historians. It could have been a Prague sculptor (from the Parler workshop), a Transylvanian sculptor, or (according to Hungarian authors) a Hungarian sculptor.  Later replica from the historicism period.
