Franziska Paula Konstante Rasmussen née Duden (1907–1994) was a German-born textile artist and painter who moved to Denmark in 1930.
Initially influenced by the minimalist Bauhaus style, she soon developed her own distinctive Structuralist approach to weaving, becoming one of Denmark's most important contributors to tapestry.
In 1935, she joined the Danish School of Arts and Crafts (Kunsthåndværkerskole) where she remained for over 40 years, teaching painting and composition, increasingly with an emphasis on textile art.
