Sappo 1917

"Sappo" is an etching created in 1917 by Swedish artist Anders Zorn, renowned for his masterful use of light and shadow. The image portrays a young woman, likely a model, seated on a rocky shore with a white dog. Zorn's etching technique is evident in the detailed textures of the fur, skin, and water, making the scene feel intimate and naturalistic. The composition, with the woman and dog sharing a tender moment, suggests a connection between humans and animals. Zorn's work is known for depicting everyday scenes and capturing fleeting moments of beauty, making "Sappo" a fine example of his artistic style.
