Et fruentimmer bortføres over søen af fire tritoner is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
The painting depicts a woman being carried away by four tritons, half-human and half-fish creatures, over a body of water. The woman appears to be struggling, with her arms outstretched and her legs kicking. The tritons are shown in various poses, with some holding onto the woman and others swimming alongside her. In the background, there is a dark and ominous sky, with clouds that seem to be swirling around the figures. The overall mood of the painting is one of turmoil and chaos, with the woman's struggle against the tritons creating a sense of tension and drama. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the tritons and the woman standing out against the dark background.
