Agnes Lunn (March 16, 1850 - 1941) was a Danish animal painter and sculptor. She trained with Otto Bache and as sculptor with Jean-Léon Gérôme in Paris - and when the Academy opened its school for women artists in Copenhagen she attended that for a couple of years.
Lunn spent many summers in Iceland, where horses (her favorite models along with cows) were abundant. She was also the godmother of C.L. David, who became a renowned art collector and patron and founded a stipend for sculptors in Lunn's honor.
