Berit 1905

"Berit" is an etching by Anders Zorn, a renowned Swedish artist known for his masterful handling of light and shadow. Created in 1905, the artwork depicts a nude woman, Berit, sitting in a contemplative pose, her body rendered with delicate detail and subtle contrasts. Zorn's signature use of black and white creates a sense of intimacy and mystery, highlighting the figure's form against a dark background. The etching is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and is a prime example of Zorn's signature style, characterized by a combination of realism and impressionism.
