Notes: 3 figures. The medallions are thought to have been carved in the late 1760's, at about the same time as S. N. Höök's series of pastels of the whole family of Linnaeus were made. The medallion of Sara Elisabeth, Linnaeus's wife, is perhaps even more interesting, as it is the only known profile likeness, besides the silhouettes. “C” form in HI biography file.
