"Erik Menveds løfte" (Erik Menved's Promise) is a pencil drawing created in 1852 by Danish artist Lorenz Frølich (1820-1908). The artwork depicts a historical scene from the reign of King Erik Menved of Denmark. A man, possibly Erik Menved, is seen standing on a platform while speaking to a group of people. His arm is outstretched, pointing towards a man on horseback, likely representing the King's opponent. The drawing showcases Frølich's skill in depicting figures and the historical context with intricate detail. The drawing is currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
