A joyful burst of folkloric energy, rendered in the bold, graphic language of the block print.
A stylized carousel horse, carrying two riders in pointed hats, leaps through the centre of the composition, its energy echoed by a cheering crowd below. It commemorates the 10th anniversary of Liberation Day in the Netherlands, celebrating the end of World War II. The artist uses a dynamic two-colour scheme of vibrant orange-red and deep slate blue, cutting bold, expressive shapes that give the scene a powerful, rhythmic quality. This is not a realistic depiction but a celebration of pure, kinetic joy, capturing the dizzying thrill of the fairground with a sophisticated, modernist sensibility.
