Wilhelm Marstrand's "Fra Ludvig Holbergs "Erasmus Montanus", III akt, 3. scene" (1825-1873) depicts a scene from Ludvig Holberg's famous satirical play "Erasmus Montanus". The painting showcases a group of characters, including Erasmus Montanus, in an indoor setting. The artist's use of detail and light creates a sense of realism, while the composition emphasizes the interaction between the characters. Marstrand, a prominent Danish painter known for his historical and genre scenes, captured the essence of Holberg's comedic work in this painting, which is now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection.
