Anatole France 1906

Anders Zorn's 1906 etching, "Anatole France," depicts the French novelist and Nobel laureate in a portrait that highlights his features, including his beard and thoughtful expression. Created with masterful use of line and shading, the artwork portrays France in a simple yet striking composition, emphasizing his intellectual presence. This etching, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to Zorn's ability to capture the essence of his subjects with delicate precision.
