"Geiser på Island" is an etching created in 1849 by Danish artist Emanuel Larsen (1823-1859). The print depicts a geyser erupting in Iceland, with plumes of steam rising into the air. Two tiny figures stand in the foreground, emphasizing the power and scale of the natural phenomenon. The work showcases Larsen's skilled use of line and tone, effectively conveying the dramatic landscape and the dynamic force of the geyser. This artwork is now part of the collection at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
