Comment on 16.4.1834

These are probably sketches of the four so-called “Major Prophets” of the Old Testament, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, that C.F. Hansen and Thorvaldsen at one time considered placing at the entrance of the Church of Our Lady in Copenhagen, cf. letters dated:

• 7.5.1827

• 5.2.1829

See Thorvaldsen’s sketches of prophets in The Thorvaldsens Museum’s Catalogue.
