This series of decorative facing bricks were made for the latest extension of the Vreewijk garden village, namely the De Vaan garden village, located between Dordtsestraatweg and Vaanweg. The name is derived from the Vaandrager family, who used to own an estate with a farm. The garden village was built during the Second World War. Sculptor Cor van Kralingen made a series of ceramic reliefs, about nature, farm life and seasons. He did this in a figurative style, which was somewhat more stylized in some reliefs than in others. The facing bricks measuring approximately 50 x 60 cm can be found on the ends of terraced houses throughout Vreewijk. They are installed in the masonry and positioned at eye level. They match the village character of the garden village. The works of art thus complement the ideas of Granpré Molière, who developed this garden village as a village in the city. A total of 12 reliefs can be found, namely 'Sower', 'Girl with lamb', 'The hunter', 'Vaandrager', 'Finches',' Leaves', 'Donkey', 'Tree planter', 'Vink', ' Hen with chicks', 'Two hens' and' Girl with wreath '.
