Kong Valdemar sætter Liden Else på prøve is a 1838 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
In the painting, a group of people and horses are gathered on a road, with a house on the right. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and a cloudy sky. The figures are dressed in traditional clothing, with the men wearing hats and carrying weapons. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama in the scene. The contrast between light and dark adds to the overall mood of the painting. This painting is characteristic of the Romanticism movement.
