In addition to crosses and depictions of the Virgin Mary, sculptures of St. Nepomuk are the Christian stone figures most often found outside church buildings in the open countryside in Catholic areas of southern Germany, Bohemia, Moravia and Austria. Very often there are statues of the saint on or next to bridges. The most famous of them, created by Johann Brokoff in 1683, has been on Prague's Charles Bridge since 1693, on the spot where the saint was thrown into the Vltava 300 years earlier. The portrait was created based on a small plaster model made by Mathias Rauchmiller in 1681, initially as a wooden model, which was placed on the rock in the Prague Church of St. John of Nepomuk in 1888. The bronze casting was carried out between 1683 and 1693 in Nuremberg by Wolf Hieronymus Herold. Bronze reliefs to the left and right of the statue's base show the murder of Johann Nepomuk and the queen's legendary confession. (Q:Wikipedia)

John of Nepomuk was born in 1345 as John Welflin or Wolflin in Pomuk (since 1918 Nepomuk) in western Bohemia. He was a Bohemian priest and martyr. He was canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1729. He is considered a bridge saint and patron of the seal of confession.
