This 1867 relief portrait, "Grosserer Hans Puggaard," by Danish sculptor H.W. Bissen, depicts the subject in profile, showcasing Bissen's skill in capturing likeness and detail. The piece, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a testament to Bissen's mastery of Neoclassical portraiture, evident in the idealized features and restrained, yet expressive, treatment of Puggaard's face. The circular frame further emphasizes the subject's prominence, highlighting the historical significance of the individual.
