Einar Jónsson’s sculpture, created in 1939–1940, depicts Thor, the Norse god, wrestling with the concept of old age. Jónsson (1874–1954), Iceland’s first sculptor, infused his work with mythological and symbolic themes. This piece explores human struggle and divine power, embodying the tension between vitality and the inevitable passage of time.
