About
The Steadfast Tinsoldier
This is another take on one of Hans Christian Andersen's favourite themes; the romance between two inanimate objects. The one-legged tin soldier falls in love with a paper ballerina, and just as the toy is humanized through his adventures in the author's tale, so the artist behind the sculpture tried to depict him. This sculpture was the seventh in the series of fairy tale sculptures in Odense.
