Elna Borch (1869 – 1950) was a Danish sculptor who was born in Roskilde, Denmark. She came from a family full of artists, including her uncle Jacob Kornerup, who taught her how to draw. She later learned sculpture in Copenhagen from Sculptor August Saabye, who later became her instructor when she was at the Women's Art Academy.^[1] She gained the opportunity to study abroad and moved to Paris in 1900 and later to Italy. Her sculptural style references naturalism and symbolism.^[2]

In Paris in 1901, she sculpted the bust Laughing Faun, and in 1902, she visited northern Italy, where she made the figure in mourning for a boy which later received the Neuhausen Prize.

Elna Borch takes interest in symbolism and became one of the few Danish sculptors in this form of expression. In 1905 , she made a major breakthrough with Death and the young woman with clear stylistic references to international symbolism.

Borch was the first female sculptor represented in Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek where her most famous Death and the Maiden resides.^[1]

Abroad, his work was presented in 1927 at the Danish National Exhibition in Brooklyn (New York, United States). She was involved in the cause of animal rights. In 1936 , she received the Tagea Rejselegat Brandt, a Danish award for women who have made significant contributions in the fields of science, literature or art.

Although her known work is considered high quality by art dealers, Elna Borch is today largely forgotten and little known to the general public.
