Queen of Saba is a 1862 oil by Fritz Thomsen, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
In this painting, a brown horse stands in a stable, facing left. The horse has a dark mane and tail, and its coat appears shiny. A man in a white apron and dark shirt leans against a wooden beam to the left of the horse, looking at it with his hand on his hip. The stable has a dirt floor covered with straw, and the walls are made of wood and stone. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with strong contrasts between light and dark areas. The overall effect is one of warmth and coziness, evoking a sense of a quiet moment in a rustic setting.
