This 1844 lithograph by Danish artist Ernst Meyer depicts Bertel Thorvaldsen, a renowned Danish sculptor. The portrait, created in profile, captures Thorvaldsen's likeness with precision and detail. Meyer's use of shading and linework creates a sense of volume and depth, enhancing the realism of the piece. The artwork is held in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst and serves as a testament to the artistic talents of both Meyer and Thorvaldsen.
