The relief, created by Walter Madarassy, was graved from Süttő chalk. It was placed in the wall surrounding a beautifully cultivated park in the street named after Marek at the crossing of Igmándi Street. There is a five-line inscription in Hungarian on the relief (József Marek (1868-1952) Master of veterinarians of the world), as well as a profile portrait of Professor Marek looking to the left.
