Agnes Cathinka Wilhelmine Lunn

Agnes Cathinka Wilhelmine Lunn (16 March 1850 – 12 December 1941) was a Danish painter and sculptor. Lunn's work focused on depictions of domestic animals, particularly Icelandic horses. She also produced landscape paintings and architectural studies. Her most notable sculptures include: Hamlette (bronze statuette, 1899), Two Swimming Horses (bronze statuette, 1906, David Collection), and Resting Cow (1913, the Museum at Sønderborg Castle). The Lunn family was known for raising the Knabstrupper, and Lunn grew up around horses, developed an early interest in them, and frequently drew horses as a child. In addition to Skovgaard, she is known to have had a close relationship with Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen.

Lunn attended the art school for women at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, which she had helped establish in 1888.

She died on 12 December 1941 in Copenhagen and was buried at Sønder Jernløse Church in Holbæk Municipality.
