Comment on 28.7.1805

The Danish diplomat “Herman Schubart”:/personer/schubart-herman.
See letter of 21.1.1804 from Schubart, in which he quotes passages from a letter of 15.12.1803 from his sister Charlotte Schimmelmann. This letter reports that there is some interest in the busts that Thorvaldsen had sent home, and that the Prime Minister Count Joachim Godske Moltke (1746-1818, cf. E454) wanted to buy the bust of A.P. Bernstorff. None of the busts, however, were sold, see letter of 31.1.1805 from Abildgaard.
