Ellen Oxholm, f. O'Kelly 1851

This marble bust, created in 1851 by Danish sculptor H.W. Bissen, depicts Ellen Oxholm, f. O'Kelly. The sculpture, which is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures Ellen's likeness with a focus on detail, including her carefully styled hair and delicate facial features. Bissen, a renowned artist of his time, often produced portraits that celebrated his subjects' individual beauty and character. This bust serves as a testament to Bissen's skill in capturing the essence of his subject through the art of sculpture.
