Belle
The statue, titled Belle1, depicts a busty woman standing wide-legged in a doorway at the top of a small staircase, gazing confidently into the world.
A plague reads, in English, “Respect sex workers all over the world.”
To prevent vandalism, the statue is secured with steel. Belle is enthroned on a high granite pedestal, which is meant to deter those who urinate in public.
The statue was unveiled during the Red Light District Open Day on March 31, 2007.
