The statue Spring is set above the entrance to the post office in the building on the corner of Májkova and Blumentálska streets. The building was designed as a multifunctional facility with a post office, administrative areas, and clinics on the raised ground floor, and apartments on the other floors.
The statue was created by the renowned Slovak sculptor F. Draškovič, one of the few Slovak sculptors to specialise in depicting the nude female figure. His young women convey joy and optimism for life, and form part of the realistic line of modern sculpture in 20th-century Slovakia. He created several such statues for Bratislava, including for the façade of the P. O. Hviezdoslav Theatre and for the Rest fountain on Karadžičova Street.
The figure of a young, slender woman, a girl, stands on a prismatic console pedestal mounted above the voussoir of the entrance portal. She is depicted en face wearing a flowing dress that extends below her knees and transitions into loose drapery at the bottom of her right leg. In hands raised above her head she is holding a fluttering piece of cloth and, in her right hand, also a spring twig that adorns the cloth from below. With her head tilted slightly backwards, she is watching the movement of the fabric.
