Hannes Hafstein
Hannes Þórður Pétursson Hafstein (4 December 1861 - 13 December 1922) was an Icelandic politician and poet. In 1904 he became the first Prime Minister of Iceland and the first Icelander to be appointed to the Danish Cabinet as the Minister for Iceland in the Cabinet of Deuntzer and was - unlike the previous Minister for Iceland Peter Adler Alberti - responsible to the Icelandic Althing.
Straight from Wikipedia and all true. Yet another statue by Einar Jónsson.
His museum is the house farthest to the right on this blip.
This is not the right background for the statue, but the roof of the Stjórnarráð was to much for him. Here you can see where the statue is - furthest to the right in front of the white house = Stjórnarráðið.
