"Schöne Náci", a street art sculpture depicting Ignác Lamár, a popular local man from early 20th century, Bratislava, Slovakia.

---

"This statue commemorates a unique figure in Bratislava's history. Not a statesmen, a sportsman or soldier: instead, the Schöner Naci, whose real name was Ignác Lamár, is remembered for being one of Bratislava's social institutions. Born in 1897, he was famous for wandering the streets of the city, elegant in morning suit and top hat. He would frequently doff his hat to the ladies he passed and offer them flowers or a song." The sculpture was created by George Melis.
