Source of Beethoven bust edit

Believe the bust shown is from Beethoven's 1812 life mask by Franz Klein, not his death mask as stated, which is quite emaciated and altogether different. Klein made a bust from his mask, which can be seen at the Beethoven-Haus archives on the web. Many other busts were based on Klein's; the bust shown, by Hugo Hagen, is one of these.
