Alder 1917

"Alder" is a 1917 etching by renowned Swedish artist Anders Zorn (1860-1920). The work, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, depicts two nude figures standing amidst a thicket of trees. Zorn's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and texture, capturing the play of light and shadow on the figures' bodies. The artist's signature style of capturing the beauty of the human form and the natural world is evident in this evocative etching.
