A Fredrika Bremer bust brings a Swedish writer's portrait to a library, reading room or study. This literary sculpture follows Carl Gustaf Qvarnström's plaster portrait of 1866 in Sweden's Nationalmuseum, with Bremer's tied scarf, composed expression and original pedestal preserved.

Bremer was a prominent novelist and a pioneer in Sweden's women's movement. Her novel Hertha is closely associated with debate over women's legal independence. This portrait offers a thoughtful gift for a reader, writer or collector of literary history.

Made to order by TheBustVault in PLA, in 5, 9 or 12 inch heights and Ivory White, Marble Stone or Charcoal Black finishes. These names describe decorative surface appearances on PLA. Intended for indoor display.
