The statue is of the Danish composer Johan Peter Emilius Hartmann (1805-1900) and is near the Garrison Church where the composer is buried.
Hartmann is considered one of the leading Danish composers of the 19th century, a period known as the golden age of Danish music.
In the bronze sculpture made by August Saabye in 1904 and placed in 1905, Hartmann is seen sitting on a chair and perusing musical notes.
