In the south of Germany, it was principally Dannecker of Stuttgart who proved capable of matching the mastery of the great Prussian sculptors. He saw himself in his self-portrait vigorous and self-assured, gazing into the distance as a free, independent artist living a life of his own making. There is a noticeably strong resemblance between it and the famous bust of Schiller (c. 1794), in which Dannecker reproduced the idealized image of the free artist.
