Brussels Statue of Madame Chapeau

When I was in Brussels in February, I came across this sculpture of an elderly lady and took a photograph of it. The statue celebrates a Belgian comedy play, "Bossemans et Coppenolle" by Joris d'Hanswyck. The character Madame Chapeau is carrying a bad with a rabbit and vegetables, and in the play, she tries to exchange these for a ticket to football.
