This piece of art is "Piet Pelle".
Piet Pelle once was the face of the Dutch Royal bike factory Gazelle in Dieren. More info Wikipedia can give you.

The factory is still there.
You find the statue in the center of the small town/village of Dieren. If you keep it at your left hand, cross the road and walk straight ahead you find the factory at your left hand. From the outside it isn't the most modern building but it is also not a dirty, smoking factory. It always looks quiet outside.

I never saw a child sit on the chairs around Piet. I guess it is not done on a piece of art?

I doubt if many people still remember Piet Pelle.
For some reason he reminds me of the guy in the commercial of Batavus bikes. I think it is because of the way how Piet is riding his bike.
