Maja von Heijne 1900

"Maja von Heijne" is an etching created in 1900 by Swedish artist Anders Zorn (1860-1920). This striking print depicts a woman, Maja, wrapped in a fur coat, with her hands clasped in her lap. Zorn's signature loose, expressive style is evident in the bold lines and dramatic use of light and shadow, which give the piece a sense of both elegance and intimacy. Currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, the print measures 247 × 196 mm (image/plate); 388 × 258 mm (sheet). Zorn's mastery of etching is showcased in this evocative portrayal of Maja von Heijne, highlighting the artist's ability to capture both the physical and emotional essence of his subject.
