Tree Sawyer, Bronze statue in Leidsebosje, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Tree Sawyer depicts a small figure cutting through a tree branch while sitting on it, creating an optical illusion with the real tree.
The statue appeared mysteriously in 1989 and became part of the Sleutelwerken collection, a series of public art installations throughout Amsterdam.
The sculpture belongs to a collection of works by De Onbekende Beeldhouwer, an anonymous artist who placed several statues across Amsterdam.
Located at the entrance of Leidsebosje near Hotel Americain, the statue stands freely accessible to visitors exploring the Leidseplein neighborhood.
After a storm damaged the original branch, the statue received repairs and returned to its position, demonstrating the community dedication to public art.
