To Commemorate the Centennial of the Austrian Empire Founded by Francis II, as Distinct from the Ancient Holy Roman Empire 1904

Josef Tautenhayn's "To Commemorate the Centennial of the Austrian Empire Founded by Francis II, as Distinct from the Ancient Holy Roman Empire" (1904) is a bas-relief sculpture depicting a female figure representing Austria, holding a tablet inscribed with the words "Imperium Austriae MDCCCI-MCMIV." She wears a laurel wreath and a crown, symbolizing imperial power and the passing of time. The relief was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Austrian Empire. It's a small-scale work, but it's a powerful symbol of Austrian national identity and history.
