Der var en kone på landet...
Sådan starter H.C. Andersens digt, Konen med æggene, hvori konen i sin iver taber alle æggene i kurven og dermed udsigten til rigdom.
Konen med æggene var den første store statue lavet af kunstneren Ane Brügger. Statuen er støbt i Bronze og måler ca. 2.5 meter. Den er placeret på Erik Menveds Plads i Randers hvor handlen med landbrugsvarer har fundet sted gennem mange år. Statuen blev afsløret d. 23. August 1958
