The black bronze sculpture is 3.75 m high, weighs 700 kg and consists of two figures.[3] The lower figure is an empty men's suit (jacket and trousers) without a body in a forward-leaning pose. On its shoulders, it carries a second, smaller figure representing Franz Kafka, pointing the way with an outstretched index finger of its right hand.

The statue of Franz Kafka is located in front of the Quadrio shopping center, near the Národní třída metro station in Prague. The unusual sculpture was created in 2014 by the Czech artist David Černý. It consists of 42 movable metal layers that rotate independently of each other, repeatedly changing the face of Franz Kafka. The statue is about 11 meters high and is one of Prague's most famous modern artworks. It symbolizes, among other things, Kafka's changing identity and his relationship with the city of Prague.
