"En kvinde knæler foran et alter, hvorpå et brændende hjerte" is a drawing created by Danish artist Marcus Tuscher between 1720 and 1751. The piece, currently held by the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), depicts a woman kneeling in prayer before an altar. The altar is adorned with a burning heart, symbolizing devotion and faith. Two angels flank the woman, adding a sense of celestial presence to the scene.
