The statue of Ludvig Holberg by Theobald Stein, together with Herman Wilhelm Bissen's statue of Adam Oehlenschläger, flanks the main entrance to the Royal Danish Theatre on Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The bronze statue of Holberg depicts him in a comfortable pose, leaned back in an armchair with his right leg stretched out, holding a book in one hand and his walking stick in the other.

[2] The statue has been described as having "a subtly satirical facial expression as if he is watching all the Jean de Frances and political tinkers that are passing by on the square in front of him".

[2] In 1851, Theobald Stein won Neuhausen's Prize (De Neuhausenske Præmier [da]) with a half-size portrait statuette of Ludvig Holberg.

Together with Herman Wilhelm Bissen's 1861 statue of Adam Oehlenschläger, which had until then been located on Sankt Annæ Plads, it was supposed to flank the main entrance of the new theatre building.
