"Portrait Bust of a Little Girl" is a marble sculpture created by Danish artist Ludvig Brandstrup in 1900. The sculpture, now located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a young girl's bust with detailed features, capturing the innocence and naivety of childhood. The realism of the sculpture, coupled with the delicate details of the girl's hair and expression, showcases Brandstrup's skill as a sculptor.
