Self-portrait with a model 1896

Anders Zorn's "Self-Portrait with a Model," painted in 1896, presents a captivating glimpse into the artist's world. The painting showcases Zorn's signature loose brushstrokes and masterful use of light, creating a sense of immediacy and realism. The artist, depicted in a white smock, sits in a dimly lit studio, his gaze directed at the viewer. In the background, a partially obscured female model stands, her form softened by the shadows. This intimate composition, with its masterful handling of light and shadow, reflects Zorn's adeptness in capturing the essence of his subjects.
