Aurore (Mrs. Aurore Klintberg, née Oxenstierna, Head) 1909

"Aurore (Mrs. Aurore Klintberg, née Oxenstierna, Head)" is a 1909 etching by Swedish artist Anders Zorn. The work features a close-up portrait of Zorn's wife, Aurore Klintberg, with her head tilted slightly to the side. Zorn's signature etching style is evident in the meticulous detail and use of light and shadow.
