Prince Paul Troubetzkoy I (Whole length) 1908

Anders Zorn’s etching, "Prince Paul Troubetzkoy I (Whole Length)" (1908), depicts the Russian sculptor Prince Paul Troubetzkoy working on a sculpture in his studio. The artist's use of cross-hatching and stippling creates a sense of depth and volume, making the figures and objects in the scene appear three-dimensional. Zorn's masterful technique of etching is showcased in this print, which is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago. The image, with its focus on the artistic process, provides a glimpse into the world of sculpture and offers an insight into Zorn's appreciation for both the subject and the medium.
