Stående bøffel 1867

"Stående Bøffel" (Standing Buffalo), created in 1867 by Danish sculptor Vilhelm Bissen, is a bronze sculpture housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst. The detailed depiction of the buffalo's musculature and textured hide showcases Bissen's skill in animal sculpture. This work, measuring 19.5 cm high and 29.5 cm wide, exemplifies Bissen's focus on realistic representation, characteristic of 19th-century Danish sculpture. The sculpture's presence in the museum's collection attests to its artistic significance within the Danish art scene.
