Anders Zorn's 1906 etching, *Mr. and Mrs. Atherton Curtis*, depicts the couple in a domestic setting, perhaps their home, with an interior partially visible in the background. The artist, known for his masterful handling of light and shadow, uses a technique called chiaroscuro in this print to create a sense of depth and volume, capturing the couple's presence with striking realism. The etching is on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
