Knielende vrouw / Kneeling woman, Fri Heil (1954)

Since 1954, this statue of a kneeling woman by Fri Heil (Surabaya, 1892 – Oosterbeek, 1983) has adorned the façade of the former CILO (Central Institute for Agricultural Research) building on the campus road that is now known as De Elst. The woman can be seen kneeling while harvesting a cornfield. She holds a fruit or other object in her hand, the grain visible in the background. The statue is approximately 150 centimetres high and 120 centimetres wide. This work of art was installed on the lawn in front of the Radix building.
