Marian Konieczny, slightly different, the figure of King Władysław Jagiełło rides a horse. At the Grunwald Monument of Antoni Wiwulski from 1910, the king was sitting in the saddle, his knees bent. In the reconstruction of the monument to prof. Marian Konieczny - legs straightened, as if he were standing in stirrups. According to the artist - the constructor of the monument, this approach to the figure of the king better reflects the dynamics of the figure of the king operating the sword. The stairs leading to the monument include a marble slab of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The monument's base was made of granite imported from Sweden. The French company Malleset undertook the casting of figures.
