Compositie, also known as Rustende figuur, is a notable sculpture by Leo de Vries located in Amsterdam-Oost, specifically at Galileïplantsoen. Created between 1965 and 1967 using Vaurion limestone, this striking piece measures 2.5 meters in length and 1.6 meters in height. The sculpture represents an abstracted human figure and has gained the local nickname "Konijn" due to its shape. Visitors can admire the artwork in a public green space, though in recent years, it was obscured by construction materials during local renovations. The site is free to visit and is accessible to the public year-round.
