  17 Inches High x 10 Inches Wide x 10 Inches Deep This life-size bust depicts Ludwig van Beethoven, the famed German composer who lived from 1770 to 1827. The sculptor, the German Hugo Hagen (1818-1871), based it off of a life mask that was taken in 1812 by Austrian sculptor Franz Klein (1779-1840) of the then 42-year-old Beethoven. There are copies of the sculpture at the château of Hradec nad Moravicí in the Czech Republic where Beethoven had been a guest of his patron, Karl Alois, 2nd Prince Lichnowsky.   Artist: Hugo Hagen Museum/Location: Unknown Time Period: Modern 1911 Catalog ID # - 5451 (fragment)   Sources: "Hugo Hagen (C. 1818-71) - Victoria, Princess Royal, later Empress Friedrich III of Germany (1840-1901)." Royal Collection Trust, https://www.rct.uk/collection/35414/victoria-princess-royal-later-empress-friedrich-iii-of-germany-1840-1901.
