The Korsós Nő more commonly known as Abigél is a bronze sculpture created by János Sóváry in 1938. It’s a graceful female figure holding a pitcher. The statue is nicknamed “the suicide girl”. This name comes from a tragic story. A man shot himself nearby in 1848. His blood supposedly stained the base. The sculptor based the woman’s face on a famous Pest beauty. He called her Dunaiszky. Over time the statue suffered damage. Its nose was broken. Restoration experts meticulously repaired the statue. The Korsós Nő now stands perfect. Her pitcher is complete. Her hair is flawless. The Korsós Nő statue played a role in the cult TV series Abigél. Filmmakers moved the statue to a park outside Budapest. They filmed scenes there. Afterwards they returned the Korsós Nő to its original spot. This statue is much more than just a pretty face. It’s a window to Budapest’s past. A reminder that even in beauty sorrow can linger. It’s a silent witness to love loss and resilience. Take a moment to appreciate the Korsós Nő. Consider her story a piece of Budapest’s rich history.
