Anders Zorn's 1909 etching, *Oxenstierna* (also known as *Mrs. Aurore Klintberg, née Oxenstierna, Whole length*), is a portrait of the Swedish noblewoman Aurore Klintberg, who is depicted standing in a fashionable gown and pearl necklace. The work is a prime example of Zorn's signature style, which combined realistic detail with a sense of Impressionistic light and shadow. The etching is considered a masterpiece of the genre, and its bold lines and dramatic composition have captivated audiences for over a century. The work is currently held in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
