Story
Gopruś is photographed in profile: a dwarf in a pointed cap with a short, tidy beard, a large round ear and a thoughtful, slightly smiling face turned to the left. One hand is raised in front of his chest holding something small. The bronze has warm golden highlights, and the glass front of a building behind him reflects the street.
History & Significance
Gopruś stands at Legnicka 59 in Pilczyce-Kozanów-Popowice Północne. The sources I could check name neither the sculptor nor the date it appeared. The dwarf tradition began in 2001, when the Orange Alternative monument (Papa Krasnal) was unveiled on Świdnicka street, and the city has kept adding bronze dwarfs ever since. The sources I found do not say who commissioned or sponsored it.
Inspiration
The sources I found do not say who made Gopruś, when he appeared or who sponsored him, and the small object in his hand is not clear in the photo. The meaning of the name is not explained in any source I checked, so none is offered here.
