According to what I found, this is Sir Thomas More's daughter, said to have been a scholar herself. Whoever labeled it gave her age, not her name.

Erisava: That fur and those rings say she didn't skimp on this portrait.

Järnpojke by Liss Eriksson, 1967

According to Wikipedia he's only 15 centimetres tall — the smallest public monument in all of Stockholm. Apparently people leave him coins, and in winter someone knits him tiny hats and scarves.

Erisava: It's the size of my hand and buried in coins. Why do we pay the tiny one?
