Jacob Nansen is a 1849 oil by Wilhelm Marstrand, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting is a portrait of a man in a dark jacket and white shirt, with a dark scarf around his neck. He has short, dark hair and is holding a book in his left hand. The background is a dark gray wall. The man's facial expression is serious, and he appears to be looking directly at the viewer. His attire suggests a formal or professional setting.
