    My personal favorite (and a feast of recognition 🙂): Bicycle lesson by Kees Verkade. The website
    staatingroningen.nl/368/fietsles reports the following about the artwork:
    In this artwork, Verkade has portrayed the dynamics and shaky mobility of a cycling lesson well. The strength of the pushing father is reflected in his bent over posture and big step. The small child barely controls the handlebars of the bicycle with the large wheels. The traces of the sculpting Verkade can still be clearly seen in the cast bronze, which contributes to the dynamic character. In 1971 it was unveiled on the busy Vismarkt. It was relatively quiet there for ten years, until it was stolen twice between 1981 and 1983 and seriously damaged in the process. Each time the police found the missing parts and the work of art could be restored. In 1986 the statue was moved to its current location, the Ubbo Emmiussingel.
