LEIF ELGGREN, February 1999

The deathmask of Charles XII Actually this is not a real deathmask taken as a casting from the kings face. -In 1718, a few days after the death of the king, the French sculptor Simon Josse modelled the original for this "deathmask" beside the king´s bier in Uddevalla, Sweden. I have used a bronze copy of the original as a source for this copy. I sell it as a multiple (500 copies) on Firework Edition for SEK 500 (plaster version).
