Birgitte Andersen

Portrait by [[Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg]], 1821 Birgitte Elisabeth Andersen (née Olsen; 17 December 1791 – 6 February 1875) was a Danish stage actor who performed at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen from 1808 until her retirement in 1838.

Andersen was one of the first, and most notable students of the Royal Danish Theatre's s school where she trained under Knud Lyne Rahbek. Critics described her as intelligent and noted her beauty and gift for irony. She was deemed best suited for solemn roles. Her training with Rahbek had placed a heavy focus on dialogue, and led her to be criticized as stiff and artificial in her movements. Provided by Wikipedia
