This terracotta bust, created by Danish sculptor Hartman Beeken between 1778 and 1780, depicts Bispinde Frederikke Louise Harboe, f. Hersleb. The bust is a fine example of Neoclassical portraiture, characterized by its idealized depiction of the subject and emphasis on realistic detail. Beeken's masterful handling of the clay is evident in the smooth, flowing lines of the bust and the delicate rendering of Harboe's features, including her carefully arranged hair. The bust is now part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen.
