Coquelin Cadet 1889

Anders Zorn's 1889 portrait "Coquelin Cadet" captures the likeness of the famous French actor in a moment of contemplation. Zorn was renowned for his masterful use of light and shadow, which is evident in the painting's rich tones and dramatic contrasts. The artist's loose brushstrokes and painterly technique lend a sense of immediacy to the portrait, capturing the subject's personality with striking realism. The painting is a prime example of Zorn's ability to portray character and emotion in a single, powerful image. "Coquelin Cadet" currently hangs in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden.
