Title: Frederik VII
Description: The equestrian statue of Frederick VII in front of Christiansborg on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen, Denmark, was modelled by Herman Wilhelm Bissen and completed posthumously by his son Vilhelm Bissen in 1873. It was created to commemorate the king's central role in Denmark's transition from absolute to constitutional monarchy.
