"Mrs. Runeberg" is a 1900 etching by Anders Zorn, a prominent Swedish artist known for his masterful use of light and shadow. The artwork depicts a woman with her hair pulled back, looking directly at the viewer, with a sense of quiet intensity in her gaze. Zorn's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the etching, along with a numbered inscription. The artwork is held in the esteemed collection of The Art Institute of Chicago. This portrait showcases Zorn's talent in capturing both the physical likeness and the inner character of his subject.
