Anders Zorn's portrait of Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway, is a masterful example of the artist's signature style. Zorn's characteristic loose brushstrokes and bold contrasts of light and shadow give the portrait a dynamic and lifelike quality. The King is depicted in a formal setting, seated in a luxurious armchair, dressed in a dark suit and white shirt. His gaze is direct and piercing, conveying a sense of authority and intelligence. The composition is simple yet elegant, focusing attention on the King's presence. Zorn's skill in capturing the sitter's personality is evident in this compelling portrayal of Oscar II.
