Peter med hane

Peter med hane stands in Copenhagen as a public sculpture by Danish sculptor Henrik Starcke. The human figure stands beside a single rooster, creating a clear pairing of person and animal. Copenhagen brings sculptures into parks, squares, and other public places throughout the city. Here, everyday surroundings place Starcke’s work within that broader tradition of accessible urban art.

Henrik Starcke worked as a Danish sculptor during the twentieth century. He created several sculptures for public spaces across Denmark. His work often focused on the human form, with attention to character and expression. No inscription or plaque supplies a story, so Peter and the rooster remain open to your interpretation.
