Gerda Lundequist 1909

"Gerda Lundequist" is an etching created in 1909 by Swedish artist Anders Zorn (1860-1920). This print, which is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, features a close-up portrait of Gerda Lundequist, a woman with dark hair and a veil, and is known for Zorn's masterful use of cross-hatching to create depth and texture, a characteristic of his work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Zorn’s etching skills are on full display in this portrait, capturing the subject’s subtle expression and the delicate folds of her clothing.
