Björg Þorláksdóttir Blöndal wrote Konunglega bókasafnið (Icelandic-Danish dictionary) with her husband which was published between 1920-1924.
The life-sized clay bust depicts Blondal as a young woman with a lean face and short hair. A bronze version of the work can be seen at (visit link)

The artist is Ásmundur Sveinsson and it is dated 1929.

Wikipedia doesn't have a separate page for her...but does have one for her husband (visit link) which mentions their joint work on the dictionary.
