Comment on 31.1.1805
Probably the Danish merchant H.M. Frisch, who was also involved in the prolonged matter concerning the transpotation of Thorvaldsen’s crates 1798-1802 to Abildgaard, see the related article about this.
In 1803, Abildgaard had decorated Frisch’s house on Nytorv in Copenhagen with 5 motifs from Voltaire, so it seems likely that Abildgaard would use Frisch as his agent in connection with the transportation to Copenhagen of a block of marble from Carrara.
