SubjectFrederick V of Denmark

An equestrian statue of King Frederick V of Denmark stands in the center of Amalienborg Square, Copenhagen, framed by the four symmetrical wings of the Amalienborg palace.[2] The statue portrays the king in classic attire, crowned with laurels and with his hand outstretched, holding a baton.[3] Commissioned by the Danish East India Company, it was designed in Neoclassical style by Jacques Saly in 1768 and was cast in bronze in 1771.[4] The apparent dignity and tranquility in the depiction of the king is typical of Danish representations of monarchs.[5] It is considered to be one of the notable equestrian monuments of its time.[6]
