"A Girl Defending Herself Against Eros" is a painting by the Danish artist Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, completed in 1814. It is one of Eckersberg's early works, showcasing his classical training and his transition towards a more realistic style. The painting depicts a young woman in a moment of playful struggle, fending off Eros, the Greek god of love, who is attempting to seize her by pulling at her skirts. The subject is drawn from classical mythology and is interpreted as an allegory of innocence resisting the advances of love or temptation.

Eckersberg, often considered the father of Danish painting, was known for his precise style and was a key figure in the Danish Golden Age of painting. He was a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and influenced a generation of Danish artists. "A Girl Defending Herself Against Eros" reflects his academic training and his interest in the human figure, which would become a hallmark of his later work.

The painting is notable for its fine detail, balanced composition, and the delicate interplay of light and shadow. Eckersberg's use of color and his ability to capture the texture of fabrics and the softness of skin are evident in this work. The painting is also significant for its portrayal of a woman as an active and resisting subject, rather than a passive or objectified figure, which was more common in the art of the period.

"A Girl Defending Herself Against Eros" is held in the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen. It remains an important example of early 19th-century European art and contributes to the understanding of the development of neoclassical painting in Denmark.
