Blomstermaleren J.L. Jensen 1840 - 1844

Christen Christensen’s 1840-1844 marble bust of J.L. Jensen, a Danish painter known for his floral still lifes, is a fine example of neoclassical portraiture. The sculpture, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark, depicts Jensen in a simple, idealized style, with a focus on his facial features and the naturalism of his hairstyle. Christensen, known for his classical training, captures the artist’s quiet dignity and intellectualism in this striking and finely detailed work.
