Bather (Evening) III 1896

Anders Zorn’s etching *Bather (Evening) III* (1896) is a masterful example of his signature style. With loose, expressive lines, Zorn captures the fleeting moment of a bather emerging from a lake at dusk, using the reflection of the sky in the water to highlight the light and dark tones of the image. The artist’s signature is visible in the lower right corner of the print. This etching is a testament to Zorn’s mastery of etching, a technique he used to capture the beauty of the human form and the natural world with striking realism and expressiveness.
