Christian IX, Bronze equestrian statue at Christiansborg Palace, Denmark.
The statue features King Christian IX mounted on a horse, cast in bronze and positioned on a sandstone base designed by architect Andreas Clemmesen.
The statue commemorates King Christian IX, who ruled Denmark from 1863 to 1906 and established connections with European royal families through strategic marriages.
Sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen completed this work in 1928, marking a milestone as one of the first female artists to create an equestrian monument.
The monument stands in front of Christiansborg Palace, where visitors can observe it while exploring the grounds of the Danish Parliament complex.
The horse model for this statue came from Hannover, Germany, and the bronze casting took place at the Rasmussen foundry in Copenhagen's Nørrebro district.
