Mucha created this image titled Loyalty as a study for a panel in the Mayor's office in the Municipal Building in Prague. The completed panel shows this Slavia figure above a portrait of Jan Amos Komensky, who fought the Hapsburgs and remained faithful to the Czech people's cause. He is credited with modernizing methods in Czech education.
Signed to lower right 'Mucha'.
