Landbouw en veeteelt, Bronze sculpture at Herebrug, Groningen, Netherlands
The bronze sculpture depicts a female figure with grain ears across her waist, standing over a calf, reaching a height of 3.15 meters.
Created in 1953 by Wladimir de Vries, the sculpture was installed during the reconstruction of Herebrug bridge after World War II damages.
The statue represents the connection between urban and rural life, with the female figure symbolizing the city and the calf representing agricultural regions.
Located at the coordinates 53°12'45.0"N and 6°34'13.8"E, the sculpture serves as a navigation point at the intersection of Hereweg and Herebrug.
The sculpture received the nickname 'Blote Bet' due to the female figure's nudity, which generated discussions among local residents.
