Comment on 14.8.1806

It is characteristic that Abildgaard asks Thorvaldsen to advise Høyer in both practical and artistic matters. As far as Thorvaldsen himself was concerned, Abildgaard did not give advice about art, but towards Høyer, Abildgaard was apparently far more pedagogical, as appears below and e.g. in the letter dated 18.6.1806, where Høyer thanks the professor for his good advice.
