A fire-red \u003cem\u003eWorker with Newsboy cap\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;in polyester is represented as a chubby dummy without arms or legs.

On the other side are two copper-green plaster figures, looking with surprise at the red worker in his cap. The plaster-cast couple harks back to the small decorative sculptures found in middle-class homes.

Aan de andere kant kijken twee kopergroene plaasteren figuren verbaasd naar de rode arbeider met de pet. Het plaasteren koppeltje roept referenties op aan de decoratieve beeldjes uit burgerwoningen. De onuitgesproken wederzijdse gevoelens stollen in sprekende beelden die geen woorden nodig hebben.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":697,"name":"Sven 't Jolle","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
