Ivan Meštrović is a Croatian sculptor who built his artistic career during the first half of the 20th century. The first achievements are related to joining the Association of Fine Artists of Austria - Secession, during his academic education. This is the time when Meštrović meets his first wife Ruža Klein, who influenced his experience of a woman and the portrayal of a female character. The female character was often realized by Meštrović in his works, and it is precisely the works with this theme that are dealt with in this paper. In addition to Ruža, his works were inspired by his mother's character, who was a role model for religious works, then Ružen Zatkova, Marija Banac and Olga Kesterčanek. The beginning of his artistic work is associated with portraits, but he also designed works that are today public monuments. Most public monuments and women's nudes were created in the period of creation between the First and Second World Wars. Meštrović also worked on architectural projects, so he also shaped the female character on architectural plastic.
