"Johan Ludvig Heiberg" is a lithograph portrait created by Emil Ditlev Bærentzen in 1838-1842. The artwork depicts Heiberg, a renowned Danish playwright and literary critic, in a formal pose, wearing a dark coat and a white collar. The lithograph is a fine example of Bærentzen’s skill in capturing the likeness of his subjects with precision and detail. This work, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK), provides a valuable insight into the life and legacy of a prominent figure in Danish cultural history.
