Story
Piotrek is a slim bronze dwarf dressed like a soldier: he wears a peaked cap with a pointed top, a high collar and a buttoned coat, and he looks calmly to one side. He stands at Wojrowicka 58 in Nowy Dwór, in front of a building with a red-brown wall. In the photo he is shown close up on a pale paved surface.
