Ludovica Anine Vilhelmine Augusta Thornam (30 November 1853 – 27 May 1896) was a Danish portrait and genre painter.

At that time, women were not permitted to attend The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, so she continued her studies with Herman Siegumfeldt (1833–1912) until 1877.

In 1887, she received a grant from the Ministry of Culture (Kultusministeriet) which enabled her to study at the Académie Julian in Paris, under the direction of Jules Lefebvre (1836–1911).

A later supplementary grant from Den Raben-Levetzauske Fond gave her a chance to study in Rome.

[9] Throughout her life, she maintained a traditional painting style, derived from the Danish Golden Age and French Academicism, although her colors and lines softened a little after her last stay in Paris.
