Lokes ansigt 1801 - 1840

"Lokes ansigt" (Loke's Face) is a small, expressive sculpture by Danish artist Hermann Ernst Freund, created sometime between 1801 and 1840. The sculpture is a terracotta bust depicting the Norse god Loki, known for his trickery and mischief. The detailed features of the face, including the mischievous grin and furrowed brow, capture Loki's complex personality. The sculpture's small size and intimate details make it a poignant example of Freund's artistic prowess and his interest in Norse mythology. The piece is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
