Gift from N.V. Hero Conserven on its 50th anniversary to the city of Breda. Casts were given to the three other members of the Union of Orange Cities, Orange, Diest and Dillenburg.
On the front, as a joke, is a plate with the text willem de pijper / nuclear physicist / 1638-1683. This plate is undoubtedly from elsewhere (it was mentioned in 2001 and is still there).

The troubadour, seated on a massive block, is executed as a compact mass of rounded shapes. It brings a playful touch, a cheerful note, a witty song without fail to the street. On the pedestal were placed the coats of arms of the four cities of Orange: Breda, Diest, Dillenburg and Orange.
