About this 3D model

Hielmstierne and Thorvaldsen did not know each other, as the sculptor was only 10 years old when the former died. However, in 1807 Thorvaldsen received an order for a portrait bust of Henrik Hielmstierne from Henrik's son-in-law. It was probably modeled in 1812 after a plaster cast of a bust by Hartman Beeken and J.L. Lund's drawing.
