Description

Marble tatue of Alois Senefelder sitting at work, dressed in the simple working clothes, looking at a lithographic plate. Senefelder's name is written mirror-reversed, just as mirror-reversed script is used in lithography. A boy is pointing to the name and a girl tries to read it in a mirror.
The sculpture is damaged, and the upper half of the boy is missing.
