The Hair-Ribbon 1912

Anders Zorn's 1912 etching, "The Hair-Ribbon", showcases the Swedish artist's mastery of light and shadow. The figure of a woman, bathed in soft light, sits on a chair, holding a ribbon to her mouth. The use of cross-hatching and stippling techniques create a sense of depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the intimate moment captured. The artwork is a fine example of Zorn's skilled handling of the medium, demonstrating his talent for capturing both the beauty and vulnerability of his subjects.
