Henryk Sienkiewicz Monument (Warsaw)

Henryk Sienkiewicz Monument (Polish: Pomnik Henryka Sienkiewicza) is a sculpture in Warsaw, Poland, within the neighbourhood of Ujazdów in the Downtown district, in the western part of the Royal Baths Park.

It was planned to be erected at the Małachowski Square, however it was cancelled due to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939.

[1] The construction of the monument was financed in 1997 by art collectors Zbigniew Karol Porczyński and Janina Porczyńska, who donated 100,000 United States dollars.

It consists of a bronze statue of Henryk Sienkiewicz, depicted wearing a suit and longcoat, in a sitting position, and dropping three pages from his manuscript.

On the right side is a relief of the coat of arms of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, with a shield in the centre of the escutcheon depicting Mary, mother of Jesus.
