Professor N.L. Høyen is going in the audience at the Pope

"Professor N.L. Høyén is going in the audience at the Pope" is a painting by P. C. Skovgaard, created in 1854. 



The painting depicts a domestic scene in a comfortably furnished room. Several women are gathered around a table set for tea or coffee. An older woman, possibly a grandmother or matriarch, sits in a green armchair, seemingly observing the others. Two younger women are standing, one pouring from a pot. A man is tending to a fire in the fireplace. The room is dimly lit, with the light seemingly coming from the fireplace and a window. The overall mood is quiet and domestic. The artwork is held in the Skovgaard Museum. The dimensions are 0.298 meters wide and 0.205 meters high.
