Head (Sculpture)

The sculpture "Head" in the park of the former Leuchtenberg estate is carved from a glacial boulder measuring 2 x 2.2 x 1.8 meters and decorates a spring flowing into a stream. Traditionally, it is described as the face of a man, most likely a warrior, while the lower left part of the face is only sketched by the master, and traces of rough processing are preserved on the stone. This cultural heritage site of federal significance is known among the St. Petersburg intelligentsia as a place where a creative person can find inspiration by stroking the sculpture and drinking water from the spring. In Sergievka, it is also marked on signs as "Adam's Head," and opposite it, on a steep slope of the ravine, there once stood a Tea Pavilion.
