Explanation
- Thorvaldsen sculpted The Goddess of Hope in 1817. The portrait of Thorvaldsen painted by Karl Joseph Begas in 1823 includes a scale model of this sculpture. Andreas Ludvig Koop painted a copy of Begas’ (1794 – 1854) portrait. Koop was constantly in need of financial aid. And this painting is undoubtedly the one that Koop offers to sell to Thorvaldsen in a letter dated 24 April 1834
