Fransk bivuak ved nat is a 1820 oil by Jørgen Sonne, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts a nighttime scene of a French camp. In the foreground, a group of people are gathered around a fire, with one figure lying down and another sitting up. The background features a dark, cloudy sky with a few trees visible. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, with the warm light of the fire illuminating the figures in the foreground. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the figures seemingly lost in thought.
