Adelgunde Vogt
Adelgunde Vogt (1811-1892), was a Danish sculptor.[1] She was the first female sculptor in Denmark. She is most known for her sculpturs of animals in ivory and bronze, but she also made portrait busts.
She was the daughter of Michael Johan Christian Herbst (1775-1830) and Michelle Elisabeth Christiance Charlotte Stibolt (1788-1861), and married chargé d’affaires Frederik Siegfried Vogt (1777-1855) in 1846.
She was a student of Hermann Ernst Freund in 1837, and in the studio of Bertel Thorvaldsen in 1840. She was proposed to be inducted in to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1843, but as women were not allowed to be members, she was instead made an honorary member.[2]
