"Gisselfeld" is an 1821 aquatint by Danish artist Søren L. Lange. The print depicts the Gisselfeld manor, a large estate situated in the Danish countryside. The landscape is dominated by the manor house, while a small pond in the distance gives the viewer a glimpse of the surrounding natural beauty. The pastoral scene, featuring figures engaged in everyday activities, offers a glimpse into Danish rural life in the early 19th century. This delicate and detailed work can be found in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
