"Prokurator og skolemester i Helsingør, Lars Berthelsen" (1687) is a portrait by Danish artist Peder Andersen, depicting the titular Lars Berthelsen, a procurator and schoolmaster in Helsingør. The inscription at the bottom of the canvas records that Berthelsen was 75 years old in 1687. The painting is a realistic depiction of a man of advanced age and shows Andersen's skill in portraying his subject with detail and accuracy. The work, currently housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a valuable example of 17th-century Danish portraiture.
