"Gezicht op de Semeru" (View of the Semeru), a pencil drawing created by Willem Mathol de Jong after 1838, depicts the erupting Semeru volcano in Indonesia. The artist, known for his landscape and nature studies, uses a detailed yet simplified style to portray the majestic mountain, capturing the awe-inspiring force of nature. The work's inscription identifies the location as "Smeree" and provides further details about the mountain's geography, adding a layer of educational value to the piece.
