Cercles d'eau I 1907

Anders Zorn's "Cercles d'eau I" is a 1907 etching that captures the essence of a lone female figure standing in shallow water. The print, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Zorn's mastery of line and texture. The artist's signature loose style, often seen in his depictions of nudes, creates a sense of movement and energy. The swirling patterns of the water, intricately rendered, provide a striking contrast to the figure's static pose. This intimate portrayal evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and the beauty of the human form amidst nature's elements.
