On the southern end of V Sz茅chenyi Istv谩n t茅r is a statue of Ferenc De谩k, the Hungarian minister largely responsible for the Compromise of 1867, which brought about the Dual Monarchy of Austria and Hungary. The statue on the western side is of an Austrian and a Hungarian child holding hands in peaceful bliss. The Magyar kid's hair is tousled and he is naked; the Osztr谩k is demurely covered by a bit of the patrician's robe and his hair is neatly coiffed.
