Henrik og Pernille, III akt, 13. scene is a 1815 oil by Christian August Lorentzen, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a dramatic scene with several people in old-fashioned clothes. There's a woman in a light dress, a man kneeling, and others around them. The setting is indoors, with a dark background and a doorway to the left. The woman seems to be the center of attention, with the kneeling man looking up at her. The other people are watching, some with their hands raised. The atmosphere is tense, with strong emotions shown on the faces. Look up Christian August Lorentzen for more of his work.
Christian August Lorentzen (1749–1828) was an artist, born in Sønderborg.
