Paul Henri Benjamin d'Estournelles de Constant 1906

Anders Zorn's 1906 etching "Paul Henri Benjamin d'Estournelles de Constant" is a striking portrait of the French politician and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Known for his mastery of etching, Zorn captures d'Estournelles de Constant's thoughtful expression as he sits with his hand resting on his forehead, perhaps pondering international affairs. The artist's signature, a distinctive flourish, is visible in the lower right corner. The artwork is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and is a testament to Zorn's exceptional talent for capturing the essence of his subjects through the medium of printmaking.
