Abstract construction made of reinforced concrete with dowelled reliefs made of dark patinated bronze. The concrete construction shows an abstract adaptation of a triptych. The six rectangular reliefs of different sizes and the eight relief medallions show workers standing, sitting, working, eating, celebrating in a slightly impressionistic, but otherwise realistic manner. The medallions show ideal-typical portraits. Like the pictures in an old-style picture gallery, the rectangular reliefs are not arranged in a simple row, but in an asymmetrical arrangement on the concrete support.
