The statue is located in the parish of Santo António, very close to Avenida da Liberdade and the Tivoli Theatre, in the heart of Lisbon.
It is a bust of Frédéric Chopin, the work of Polish sculptor Bolesław Syrewicz, originally created in 1872 in marble. The piece in Lisbon is a bronze cast of the original and was a gift from the Republic of Poland.
