"These pieces, which are at last leaving my studio, form the pediment for the National Library and Museum, a commission I won in the ’92 competition. I think it may be put up in a few days’ time”. With these words, published in the magazine Vida Galante in 1902, Agustín Querol announced the completion of one of his landmark works, beside which he proudly posed.
