The sculpture represents the 6th-century BC Roman hero Mucius Scaevola who thrust his right hand into a fire demonstrating his bravery in the Roman Etruscan War. The artwork is a copy of a sculpture decorating the staircase of a private house in Oberzell, near Würzburg. The cast formed part of the gift made in 1907 by Elsa Göschel from Nuremberg, who married the Hungarian Gábor Durkó and moved to Budapest. The cast was made by Elsa Göschel’s father, Johann, who was a stone carver and cast maker in Nuremberg. The plaster cast was transferred from the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest to the Kalocsa Community Centre in 1977 as a deposit and remained there until 2017. The copy is now preserved in the museum’s storage.
