Almost completes the modelling of Ludvig Holberg, A876.

Primary sources

• Newspaper notice dated 7.6.1839 i Berlingske Tidende (documents that the bust is almost finished).
• Albert Repholtz: Thorvaldsen og Nysø, Copenhagen 1911, p. 27 (the clay model was cast in plaster on 16.8.1839).
• Thiele IV, p. 70 (writes erroneously that the bust is begun after the return from the trip to Kullen and before Thorvaldsen’s departure for Nysø, see presumably 12.7.1839).
