Through bank of river you come to town..to the Slovak National Museum with Memorial Of Czechoslovak Statehood with bronze lion on 14,85 m tall column. Lion holds shield with state emblem of (former) Czechoslovak state.The next street from Slovak Muzeum you can find bronze Duck Fountain made 1914 by the sculptor Kuhmayer. It is nice fountain with interesting story...soon here in this blog :-)
Going to the Old Town is the opportunity watch ( and sketch) people resting, walking, listen to street performancers ,..
The sketches are done in plain paper notebook ( Donau river in aquarell Moleskine) with Lamy fountain pen and VanGogh watercolors )  |   |

Thank you ,Teri, for your comment...I always find interesting your cactae
Hi Jako, I am from South Africa and visited Bratislava for business in June. I was fascinated by a statue of a young girl with a doe, close to the Hotel Danube where we stayed. It seems the sculpture was maybe started by Alojz Regele before his death and finished afterwards by Robert Kuhmayer.
I have found a picture of A. Regele but I am URGENTLY looking for a likeness of Kuhmayer, but with no success. I'd appreciate so much if you could help, also with more information about the statue that I saw, there are some descriptions on the internet only in Slovak.
I think in this comment you should see my email address.
Thanks in advance!
