Comment on 30.1.1807

There was no inscription on the back of the Brahetrolleborg version of the Baptismal Font, but the relief of Three Hovering Angels, A555,3 instead.
On the version of the Baptismal Font executed many years later, however, there was a Latin inscription. The translation reads:
“In the year 1827 Albert Thorvaldsen executed this work in Rome and gave it in devotion to Iceland, his native country”.
