This realistic bust, "Departementschef C.M. Weis", was created in 1861 by Danish sculptor H.W. Bissen (1798-1868). The work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures the likeness of an unidentified man with a focus on detailed facial features. The bust is made of plaster and is 62 cm in height. The sculpture showcases Bissen's skill in capturing human likeness and expression, a hallmark of his neoclassical style.
