Venus de la Villette 1893

"Venus de la Villette" is a 1893 etching by Swedish artist Anders Zorn. The print depicts a nude female figure standing in a room, partially obscured by a draped curtain, with her hand resting on her hip. This artwork is known for its masterful use of light and shadow, which Zorn employed to create a sense of depth and volume. The etching is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, and its intimate scale allows for a close and personal viewing of the subject's delicate form.
