Professor Thomas Bugge 1786 - 1856

"Professor Thomas Bugge," a portrait engraving by Wilhelm Heuer (1786-1856) depicts the Danish astronomer and mathematician in profile. This small, intimate artwork, part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, measures only 80 mm by 69 mm and showcases Heuer's skill in capturing likeness through delicate lines and shading. The engraving is a testament to the importance of Professor Bugge's contributions to Danish science and scholarship, as well as a fine example of portraiture from the late 18th century.
