​This is a poster for the sixth event of the Hapoel sports association that took place May 10–17, 1956. The Hapoel sports event took place once every four years from 1928 to 1995.

The poster is blue and red and features an athlete wearing running shorts and a sports vest. The athlete seems to be crossing the finishing line which is adorned with red, blue, and white streamers, representing the Israeli flag and the socialist party. The artist highlights the athlete’s impressive arm and leg muscles in a style reminiscent of Soviet art of the times.

In the background is the number six, indicating that this was the sixth Hapoel sports event, and surrounding the number six are many faces, presumably the spectators.
