Kamp mellem en bjørn og nogle ulve is a 1811 oil by Christian David Gebauer, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a dramatic scene of a bear fighting off several wolves. The bear stands on its hind legs, its front paws swiping at the air as it faces off against a snarling wolf. Another wolf lies on the ground, while a third wolf runs away in the background. The scene is set in a forest clearing, with trees and bushes visible in the distance. The painting is done in oil paint, with visible brushstrokes giving the scene a sense of energy and movement. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the central struggle between the bear and the wolves.
