Most of the statues and memorials in Hungary were erected at the turn of the century. It was a period of feverish work in the field of sculpture, and not only were ambitious memorials made claiming the attention of the whole nation, but also smaller more modest monuments. Such is the statue of "Anonymous" by Miklós Ligeti, erected in City Park in 1903. The smaller version in the Hungarian National Gallery is a sketch for the full-sized work.
