  • Else Kai Sass: Thorvaldsens Portrætbuster, Copenhagen 1963-65, Vol. I, p. 29-32 (Sass does not think that there is any doubt that this is an early work by Thorvaldsen. The work, however, was not included as a work by Thorvaldsen in Ludvig Müller’s first catalogue and was shown in The Exhibition of 18th Century Sculpture (1919) in Kunstforeningen af 1825 (The Art Society of 1825, Copenhagen), as a work by an unknown artist).
