Illustration reduced. Lotte Benter, later Benter-Bogdanoff, the Danish sculptress, was affiliated with Royal Copenhagen in the years before World War I. She modelled this portrait of Karl von Müller from life, while von Müller was interned at Noordwijk-am-Zee, Holland. While her porcelain is well known, her medallic work is very seldom met with in commerce
