Spanish Woman 1884

Anders Zorn's "Spanish Woman" (1884) is a striking etching that showcases the artist's mastery of light and shadow. The portrait depicts a young woman, her face partially obscured by a lace shawl, her gaze directed slightly away from the viewer. The use of delicate lines and subtle shading creates a sense of depth and realism, capturing the sitter's subtle expression and the texture of the fabric. This work, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Zorn's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through a nuanced, yet expressive, approach to portraiture.
