This sculpture by Pavel Valdes was unveiled on 17 July 2010 on the 200th birthday of Juan Gundlach. The original work depicts Gundlach's bronze head and arms emerging from concrete blocks decorated with bird and insect reliefs, and holding a large book.
Juan Cristóbal Gundlach (17 July 1810, in Marburg – 14 March 1896), born Johannes Christoph Gundlach was a Cuban naturalist and taxonomist. He wrote "Contribucion á la Erpetologia Cubana" (1880) and "Contribucion á la entomologia Cubana" in 4 volumes (1881–1884). In 1986, on the 90th anniversary of his death, Cuba issued a series of postal stamps commemorating Gundlach.
The plaque reads: Juan Cristóbal Gundlach / Marburg 1810 / La Habana 1896
