In Denmark it seemed as if there were more portraits than in other places. I’m not sure if that’s true but here are a few I noticed in particular.

Family portraits on the wall in an old house on Funen. Mural of a face on a house in Aalborg.A pencil sketch left on a desk in a forgotten room.A projected face alone in a room at ARoS Modern Art Gallery in Aarhus. A marble bust at Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen. In the Silkeborg Museum Café, a plaster casting of a bust of the famous Roman Marcus Aurelius.Sisyphus, a huge rolling stone sculpture that is periodically hauled up the hill at the Silkeborg Sculpture Garden in Denmark. Someone was having a bit too much fun with this portrait poster in Aarhus.
