Mrs. Kip 1904

"Mrs. Kip," a 1904 etching by Anders Zorn, depicts a woman in a large hat, fur collar, and dark dress. Her face is partially obscured by the hat's brim, but her gaze is direct and intense. Zorn's mastery of the etching technique is evident in the rich detail and expressive lines that capture the subject's subtle features. The work showcases Zorn's characteristic use of strong contrasts of light and dark, a hallmark of his portraiture and etching style. The etching, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into Zorn's talent for capturing the essence of his subjects.
