The original bust of Saint Catherine with crown can be find in the Saint Sebaldus Church in Nuremberg. The original sculpture is a life-size figure made around 1320 and it is placed on one of the pilasters of the nave. The plaster cast is the copy of the upper part of the figure and formed part of the gift made in 1907 by Elsa Göschel from Nuremberg, who married the Hungarian Gábor Durkó and moved to Budapest. The cast was made by Elsa Göschel’s father, Johann who was stone carver and cast maker in Nuremberg.The artwork was transferred from the Museum of Fine Arts to the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (former Royal Joseph University) in 1923 as a deposit.
