The sculpture depicts the Pieter Appelmans Monument, located at the Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp.
The monument pays tribute to Pieter Appelmans, the 14th-century architect responsible for the cathedral's design, and to all the unnamed builders. The sculpture group, created by Belgian s
culptor Jef Lambeaux, depicts stonemasons, builders, and the architect himself.
The sculpture is located just to the right of the cathedral's main entrance.
