Amalie Brock 1856

This bronze bust titled "Amalie Brock", was created by Danish sculptor H.W. Bissen in 1856. Bissen was known for his realistic portraits and this work, which is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, exemplifies his style. The bust captures a likeness of Amalie Brock, presenting her with a subtle, yet composed, expression. Her features are delicately rendered with a focus on naturalism, a hallmark of Bissen's artistic practice. The bust stands on a simple pedestal, enhancing its overall classical aesthetic.
