Each wears their brightly-coloured national dress, the girls with garlands of exquisite flowers. Truly delightful ~ and a very special Christmas present for someone… Measurements: 10 – 14cms high (4 to 5.5ins). c1910-1925.

Originally from Jutland, he moved to Copenhagen as a very young man, where he became an apprentice to the American Danish-born sculptor Hans Christian Petersen. Later he was a pupil at Vehmerhen’s Painters School and finally at the prestige Danish Academy of Arts in 1897. He exhibited widely, being awarded a Gold Medal at the Bruxelles World Fair in 1910. He died in 1941.
