This statue was made for the tombstone of Mrs. Josefa Humpal-Zemanová, a fighter for women's rights. She worked actively in various societies and as an editor.

The artist, Stanislav Sucharda (1866–1916), was a Czech sculptor, a professor at the Prague School of Applied Arts from 1899, and a leading figure in the Mánes Union of Fine Arts (S.U.V. Mánes), founded in 1887.

His work can be seen at the František Palacký Monument in the New Town, Prague, and architectural sculpture on several Art Nouveau buildings for Czech architects Osvald Polívka and Jan Kotěra, notably Polívka's New Town Hall in Prague. He also designed a monument to Czech composer Karel Bendl which stands in Bubeneč, in the northwest sections of Prague.

Stanislav Sucharda was the brother of Czech sculptor and puppeteer Vojtěch Sucharda.
