I lysthuset is a 1858 oil by Vilhelm Kyhn, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting depicts a serene outdoor scene, with a man and a woman seated in a lush garden. The man, dressed in a dark jacket and white pants, sits in a chair, while the woman, wearing a vibrant pink dress, sits on a bench, surrounded by flowers. The atmosphere is tranquil, with the couple seemingly enjoying each other's company. A notable detail in the painting is the way the artist has used light and shadow to create a sense of depth and dimensionality. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, adds to the overall mood of the scene.
