During his summer stay in Esbeek, the Rotterdam artist Andreas Schotel formed many friendships. He was often found among farming families, whom he captured vividly in his etchings and watercolors. This sculpture depicts the connection between the big city and the small village. Schotel traveled by train from Rotterdam to Tilburg, after which the steam tram took him to Esbeek. Hannes Verhoeven took the steam tram of that era and its impressive arrival at this location as the starting point for creating the connection between Esbeek and Rotterdam.
