Enkedronning Caroline Amalie 1861

This marble bust, "Enkedronning Caroline Amalie," was sculpted in 1861 by Danish artist H.W. Bissen. The bust depicts Caroline Amalie, Queen of Denmark, in a simple yet dignified pose, her head covered in a draped cloth. The artist, known for his realistic portraits, captures the Queen's likeness with precision and a subtle sense of emotion. This piece, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers a glimpse into the artistry of Bissen, who was a prominent figure in 19th-century Danish sculpture.
