Charles Nagel 1901

Anders Zorn was a Swedish painter known for his masterful use of light and shadow. This portrait of Charles Nagel, painted in 1901, showcases Zorn's signature style. The subject's face is rendered with striking realism, highlighted by a subtle play of light and shadow, while his dark suit is rendered in loose brushstrokes, creating a sense of depth and texture. Zorn's ability to capture both the physical likeness and the inner character of his subjects made him one of the most celebrated portraitists of his time.
